I can also confirm the substantial extra waiting time when bootwait is added - which is needed for a home directory.
Also anyone, that likes to go the nfs v3 way, may save some time not making my mistake.... In /etc/fstab an nfs3 mount needs the '/export' prefix on the mounts For example with nfs v4: 1.2.3.4:/share /mountpoint nfs4 bootwait,nfsvers=4 0 0 In order to use nfs v3 change it to: 1.2.3.4:/export/share /mountpoint nfs bootwait,nfsvers=3 0 0 I have not yet been able to test how my setup performes with v3 though.
