So there are a bunch of NICs and vlans on the server and after adding the last ones the auto mount of a network volume is not working. I can do it all right if I SSH in and use mount however it doesn't happen with fstab.
What I'm speculating is the interfaces that are needed to reach the networked storage come up too late, I have no experience with the startup so I have only a few bits of debug you show such as
# chkconfig --list
networking 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off S:on
nfs-common 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off S:on
(that's among others, do ask if you need to see other entries, I don't actually know what would be needed)
How can I make the nfs mounting be done at a later point, this above suggests to me that perhaps the nfs stuff happen too early?

How can I delay or change the order of events so that it'd mount with fstab, what to look for anyway?

OK I could work around that by putting the mount command in
rc.local(also worked as@reboot root mount -ain/etc/crontab). But if someone has suggestions about fixing it by changing the services startup that'd be nice to know.
