I removed udev-automount and modified my /etc/fstab.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

and my /etc/fstab
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information

/media/share_drive /srv/nfs4/share none bind')
but it is still not mounting correctly.

So I am back to adding mount -a to /etc/rc.local.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('sethjvm', 'I') was able to share files successfully using NFSv3 directions on the archlinux wiki.
What did you do differently then? ;)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('sethjvm', 'i')f I have to reboot, the only way that I can get the files to share is to manually run.
How it manifests itself? What NFS client do you use? How it is setup? :?

I am a snob and moved on to systemd, not going to convince you to go that way as not on pogoplug pro at the moment.
But I notice in your DAEMONS you don't have netfs, why is that. I think it's in default rootfs, and spy a mount -a in it

Actually, I'd double this question. If he's talking about a client PC's issue, he should have netfs in daemons list to mount remote network filesystems locally.

I did add netfs back to the daemons file, it does not seem to make any difference.

The big difference between nfsv3 and nfsv4 is how I had to define an nfs root in v4 and then bind shared files under that root in fstab.

I am using NFS client on XBMC on an Apple TV version 2.

NFSv4 server works with "mount -a" in /etc/rc.local which as I stated feels inelegant compared to getting the nfs mount to correctly bind using only /etc/fstab.

I asked google about "pogoplug pro uuid fstab" and first hit tells me you had a similar problem a year ago.

You said above to be successful with NFS Archlinux Wiki. What's your concern then - NFS4? :D Do you omit 0 0 for NFS4 bind? I'm not sure whether using pretty old OS version with latest NFS release can be trouble free. And hydro mentioned alternative way to mount NFS shares - did you try that?

Try to review your udev-automount rules instead of deleting them. Post mount outcome after boot here (without mount -a invoked). When you say, your drives aren't shared, does it in fact mean they're not mounted at boot? Or mounted, but not binded? What it has to do with NFS - it may be a bug in your OS version... Binding example is just one of several ways to mount shares. :P

I did eventually resolve the UUID problem from the first time. I was using a USB flash drive for rootfs and it was dying.

I do appreciate that effort that everyone put in helping. I am going to take a deep breath and accept "mount -a" as a solution.

Its still unclear from your posts, whether shared partitions were mounted in your binded dirs or not. Look at /etc/mtab after boot without using mount -a. If not mounted, run man mount and man fstab to see options available in your kernel version. Try adding remount line for the binded partition in fstab below bind or use other available options to see if it helps. Note that kernel interaction with fstab evolved with Linux development, and now udev plays key role with improved and expanded mount rules.
