Sorry. Looking at the ebuild, there's:

<begin>
rm "${D}$(systemd_get_unitdir)"/nfs-config.service || die
sed -i -r \
-e "/^EnvironmentFile=/s:=.*:=${EPREFIX}/etc/conf.d/nfs:" \
-e '/^(After|Wants)=nfs-config.service$/d' \
-e 's:/usr/sbin/rpc.statd:/sbin/rpc.statd:' \
"${D}$(systemd_get_unitdir)"/* || die
</end>

so the upstream "nfs-config.service" waltz is avoided.

But that means that the variables in "/etc/conf.d/nfs" aren't renamed.
So the openrc nfs script uses "${OPTS_RPC_NFSD}", which is defined,
and the systemd service uses "$RPCNFSDARGS", which isn't.

IIRC, it's needed to avoid this delay. I thought that I'd saved a url
about this but I can't find it.

Do you have a syslog message about "stable storage"? "man nfsdcltrack".

The openrc script has

<begin>
mkdir_nfsdirs() {
local d
for d in v4recovery v4root ; do
d="/var/lib/nfs/${d}"
[ ! -d "${d}" ] && mkdir -p "${d}"
done
}
</end>

but systemd doesn't have anything equivalent. On RHEL and Ubuntu,
"/var/lib/nfs/v4recovery/" is created at installation time. Perhaps
the Gentoo ebuild should do the same or should ship a
"/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var-lib-nfs.conf" to create it at boot if it
doesn't exist.
