Not here. Are you using baselayout-2 or something? Some while ago, I had problems (not similar to yours) when mounting NFS shares before I had started /etc/init.d/nfs-client, which is called nfsmount now I think. Do you have that one running? What system is your NFS server runnig? Is it also Gentoo, or something else? My NFS once went wonky when I had an old kernel running the server, after an update all problems were gone. Any messages in syslog or dmesg when mounting the share? Wonko
