I can't see anything else wrong.
I don't see why it shouldn't work, but there's a couple commands I use to debug NFS. They're not *great*, but they work. I haven't used Gentoo in a while so I forget exactly what env-update does, but I assume mounting the network share works successfully and this is just a command that accesses /var. You can use these commands to make the kernel driver output debugging information to dmesg. On the client: > # rpcdebug -m nfs -s all On the server: > # rpcdebug -m nfsd -s all On both sides, if the others don't give useful info, this is for the lower level protocol: > # rpcdebug -m rpc -s all Then, try running the command again. It will spew a lot of info but hopefully you can figure out from it what's going on. -Marco :-)
