NFS service failed to start

[nickarchpi2]

I have just setup NFS and it has been working fine after manually binding the shares to /srv/....

I edited my fstab according to the arch wiki but it appears to be causing an issue on reboot resulting in the nfs service failing to start. I'm almost certain it is an fstab issue going by my logs.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Sep 12 09:27:59 arch rpc.mountd[263]: Could not bind socket: (98) Address already in use

here is my fstab file, the bottom line is the bind for the nfs
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

Edit

I have tried the following but still having an issue starting the service.

Edit.

After disabling the service, commenting out the bind in fstab and rebooting the system I can manually bind and start the service. Sometimes it can take a while for sda to mount after reboot with the fstab configuration but it does eventually mount.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'arch systemd[1]: Timed out waiting for device dev-sda.device.')

for now I have added the following alias but I would like to have it start on boot if possible.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'alias startnfs='sudo mount --bind /mnt/2tb_hd/ /srv/nfs4/2tb_hd/ && sudo systemctl start nfs-server.service'')
