28 I did not include nfs4 in my kernel because it was marked 'experimental'.
29 (Hey, just because I choose to run ~amd64 doesn't mean I'm reckless ;o)
30
31 I set the 'nonfsv4' USE flag and recompiled nfs-utils but got exactly the
32 same error.
33
34 The next step is to build a new kernel with nfs4 support and unset the
35 'nonfsv4' flag, but at the moment I'm running a ver-r-r-y long partition
36 resize with gparted so that I can add more space to my experimental lvm2
37 volumes. (Working great so far.) I think I'll fall asleep before gparted
38 is finished, so I'll supply more information tomorrow.
