I double your search for understanding ... my various efforts to set up NFSv4 for sharing stuff in my LAN also lead to unstable behavior and frustration. Only last week I re-attacked this topic as I start using puppet here to manage my systems ... and one part of this might be sharing /usr/portage via NFSv4. One client host mounts it without a problem, the thinkpads don't do so ... just another example ;-) Additional in my context: using systemd ... so there are other (different?) dependencies at work and services started. I'd be happy to get that working in a reliable way. I don't remember unstable behavior with NFS (v2 back then?) when we used it at a company I worked for in the 90s. Stefan
