Yes, it's still happening in Lucid; also with CIFS volumes mounted in /etc/fstab. All pertinent mounts use the _netdev option, which should theoretically signal mountall not to do these until the network is available, but...

Most annoying is that about every other boot or so (probably doesn't happen every time due to timing issues in the parallel startup) it can't mount my CIFS volumes and gives me a recovery console.

My guess is that mountall isn't honoring _netdev.

(also mount.cifs throws an annoying warning message about not understanding _netdev, but that's just a papercut)
