Hi, thanks for the fast reply I have never even used nfs and I'm not a systemd expert, so I'm not at all sure this interpretation is correct, but here goes. I only removed the dependency from rpc.statd.notify, not rpc.statd. I didn't remove the `After=nfs-server` line, and for nfs-server to be up, network-online must be up first (there's an After requirement in the nfs-server unit). So if the nfs-server is enabled, the rpc-statd-notify will order itself after the server is up, which depends on the network. That means that, if there is a server, the server must be up before it sends notifications, so it will have the right hostname. This only improves boot speed on nfs clients, where nfs-client.target pulls in rpc-statd-notify.service.
