I have the following mount for NFS in /etc/fstab
:
192.168.1.6:/var/share /media/share nfs hard,intr,retrans=10,timeo=10000000,_netdev 0 0
On reboot my system hangs; turns out it's the mount as proved by systemd-analyze blame
.
The status:
● media-share.mount - /media/share
Loaded: loaded (/etc/fstab; bad; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Tue 2016-04-26 21:13:43 EDT; 6min ago
Where: /media/share
What: 192.168.1.6:/var/share

This appears to be a bug?
After logging in and running systemctl restart media-share.mount
it is fixed (because the network is available now).

I had the same problem.
There's some info on the Ubuntu Community Help Wiki here suggesting it is intentional behaviour by Ubuntu 16:
My solution was to the add "vers=3" before "_netdev", forcing the connection to use NFS v3. Obviously this might not help in your case, if you are relying on NFS v4.
Other options could include AutoFS or shell scripting.
