reverted back to NFSv3 and have had no problems with it. Are folks satisfied with NFSv4? Or, am I the stupid one for trusting the default on the distro? I'd appreciate any general remarks you might have on how to move forward.

I've been put off NFSv4 becuase I cannot understand how to
export several directory trees in differenet partitions.
NFSv4 seems to want you to merge them into a virtual partion
and export that, but the kernel cannot cope with the different
bits of the virtual partition having different permission modes.
So I can't export a read only partition and a read-write partition
without the kernel becoming dangerously confused :-(

I went back to NFSv3.
