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?
