I am the sysadmin for a company that uses Ubuntu for desktops, and uses nfs heavily. I upgraded to Lucid from Karmic, and everything has been fine. A co-worker upgraded, and ran into this bug. He tried the mounted MOUNTPOINT=/var workaround. It actually seemed to make the problem worse. The first time he booted it just hung the boot process. With a reboot, it came up without the hang.

What upstart needs is more of a "can I write to this directory" option.
