Comment 40 for bug 525154

I'm not an expert but I tested this:

Create a script "startstatd" and save it in "/etc/init.d".
The script:

#! /bin/sh
service statd start
mount /192.168.0.31: ... #add directives for mounting nfs shares

Then create a symlink to /etc/rcS.d, for example @S91startstatd.

It seems to be working well.
