The problem seems to happen because nfs is started before amito can be
resolved:

Do you have "NetworkManager-wait-online.service" enabled?
Not sure if this would fix it, but it *seems* like it should.

I believe that I do. Here is the result of a query:

$ systemctl status NetworkManager-wait-online.service
● NetworkManager-wait-online.service - Network Manager Wait Online
    Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager-wait-online.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
    Active: active (exited) since Wed 2022-12-21 08:25:36 PST; 2 days ago
      Docs: man:nm-online(1)
   Process: 1278 ExecStart=/usr/bin/nm-online -s -q (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
  Main PID: 1278 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
       CPU: 45ms

BTW: I have adopted the suggestion of Tom Horsley to put "amito" in /etc/hosts, which seems to work well. However this could fail if my dns server changes amito's IP address -- unlikely but possible. I apologize for the late reply.
