NFS unavailable until NFS server restart

I have quite a strange problem with NFS. I have two systems. One is my workstation, Ubuntu 13.04, linux kernel 3.8.0. Here I've got a directory with code I am working on: /home/user/source. The other is a virtual machine running on some remote server. It has Centos 6.3 and mounts the directory at /opt/source. The point is I have got a whole development environment there needed to run my code, but I want to store the code itself on my local machine for easier acces for Eclipse and other development tools.

Unfortunately, when I reboot my local machine, the NFS filesystem is unavailable on the virtual box until I run: /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart. I cannot figure out why. Here's the only line in /etc/exports on my local machine:

/home/user/source 10.0.19.192(rw,sync,subtree_check)

And here's the line from /etc/fstab on virtual machine, where the NFS is described:

10.10.1.205:/opt/source /opt/WP nfs defaults,nofail 0 0

It looks like your NFS server wasn't started at boot time. I think, even on Ubuntu 13.04, you can still manage this with the "rcconf" program:

sudo apt-get install rcconf dialog
sudo rcconf

Then, check off nfs-kernel-server.

If for some reason this isn't working, try a similar process with the sysv-rc-conf package.
