I'm quite an expert at praying to the computer gods to "please let this nfs

I'm lying, of course, because I intend to do it again six months from now.
Why not just use scp or sftp since its so infrequent?
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...
