11 I double your search for understanding ... my various efforts to set up
12 NFSv4 for sharing stuff in my LAN also lead to unstable behavior and
13 frustration.
14
15 Only last week I re-attacked this topic as I start using puppet here to
16 manage my systems ... and one part of this might be sharing /usr/portage
17 via NFSv4. One client host mounts it without a problem, the thinkpads
18 don't do so ... just another example ;-)
19
20 Additional in my context: using systemd ... so there are other
21 (different?) dependencies at work and services started.
22
23 I'd be happy to get that working in a reliable way. I don't remember
24 unstable behavior with NFS (v2 back then?) when we used it at a company
25 I worked for in the 90s.
