Currently I'm running an old 4.3-STABLE kernel and kldstat shows: Id Refs Address Size Name 1 6 0xc0000000 40000000 kernel 2 1 0xc0ae0000 d000 msdos.ko 3 1 0xc0b0f000 6000 procfs.ko 4 1 0xc0b18000 4000 kernfs.ko 5 1 0xc0b3b000 4d000 nfs.ko <--- ! 6 1 0xc0bae000 12000 linux.ko That is, since my /modules is new, I've loaded the brand new 4.4-RC's NFS module, and it works without a glitch (at least for now). This enforces my belief that there is something broken in some deeper layer of the network code (see the remote printing issue). The time stamp of the older kernel is -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2408052 Jul 29 15:19 /kernel.good It's a pretty long period (almost a month) but maybe is possible to track down the mods to the network code till now. -- walter pelissero http://www.pelissero.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
