  • First thing I’d do is to look at the client (fedora) journal for anything funky happening.

    ‘sudo systemctl status nfs-client’

    Since it’s random I assume you won’t have any timeout in your /etc/fstab but it might be worth taking a look anyway.

    Be aware that if the network drops the NFS will be disconnected and won’t auto-reconnect so this could also be the issue.

    I don’t know if it plays well with container mounted volume, but looking at autofs could be a solution to auto-remount the share. I use it profusely for network mounted home directories.


  • Immutable distros works great when you want them exactly as they come. Anything else is a shit show IMHO.

    As an example, multiple fedora based immutable distros dont have the codecs required to play YouTube videos. You have to either replace the rpm-ostree based Firefox with the flatpaks one or layer ffmpeg over the base system. Both solutions I wouldn’t expect someone without Linux knowledge to be able to do.



  • I’m currently trying Fedora Kinoite and from the get go the hassle of getting a proper Firefox+codecs to watch online videos feels like a major step back.

    Then you have the issue of installing software in flatpack (is: vscode, texmaker) that are either not fully working of need to have their access tweaked. Atomic distros appeal is to “just work” it doesn’t seem like it does.
