I use scp all the time -- but It's The Principle Of The Thing(TM) :p I never had any trouble with NFS until version 4 came along, and nothing *but* trouble since then. I figure if I invoke mount.nfs4, I shouldn't need to include the nfsvers=4 option in addition -- but that's what it has made me do. At least until the last time I tried it about two weeks ago, when plain old mount -t nfs seemed to work without any magic incantations. OTOH, I didn't bother to investigate which nfs version actually connected. I just gave thanks for the crumbs it tossed me and copied my files across ;) OTOH sftp really is quite nifty...

have sshd running read man scp done That was what I did. Still not always so simple tho. There's not much else simpler than scp! I should have added a smiley to my comment about smaller can or worms - NFS is not complicated either.

I recently switched my three computers (carter, camille, and catherine) to the new gcc profile: i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.5 from i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.4.

Camille and catherine were a few hundred packages from the end of their emerge -e world when the power went out. Carter supplies daily updated /usr/portage to camille and catherine via nfs, but when I restarted the computers when the power came back on, I get this: camille ~ # mount carter:/usr/portage /usr/portage/ mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified Am I not constructing my command correctly?

I'm lying, of course, because I intend to do it again six months from now. Every time, the computer gods make me suffer through multiple attempts to guess the correct magic prayer before the remote nfs filesystem finally appears for its biannual visit on /mnt/nfs. Yes, I may well be paranoid, but it seems to me that the magic prayer for nfs mounts changes every time I need it. Sometimes I succeed using mount.nfs4, sometimes using mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=4, or sometimes just mount -t nfs. I have NFI what the real secret is, so I ask you nfs wonks to have mercy and fill us in...
