I have a near-identical setup.  If the laptop's not plugged in, after about 10-20 seconds rpc gives up with destination unreachable and the filesystem just doesn't mount.

I mount with -o hard,intr,tcp and the export is rw,no_root_squash,sync.

PS.  Distcc rocks in this setup :)

Hello,
  I am currectly working on setting up my server on my home lan to share its 
/usr/portage with 2 other computers. Currently, I am using nfs to mount it 
on my desktop machine and it works great, and was planning to setup my 
laptop to mount it as for /usr/portage too, but a friend said the nfs has 
problems if it is not able to mount a directory. This would be a problem 
since I regularly take my laptop away from the lan and it would not be able 
to mount. It is not necessary to have access to /usr/portage while I have 
my laptop away from my lan since i can wait to install anything from home. 
He mentioned using samba instead since it did not have this problem. Is 
this a legitimate concern with nfs and should I switch over to samba? Will 
portage be able to work correctly with a samba share from a permissions 
standpoint?

TIA,
rick
