To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk I've been using FreeBSD for a few months (awaiting 2.2... :>) at work, and I think it's great. Thoguh, when I was using the /etc/sysconfig script to setup my machine as both and NFS server and NFS client (to the world as well as itself -- this was absolutely unavoidable), it would not boot. After some checking I found that the /etc/rc file mounts all nfs mountpoints BEFORE loading the nfs client/server daemons, thereby cutting off the possibility of my machine connecting to itself due to the lack of the nfsd. This struck me as odd, probably an obscure case which could almost never occur. Well, here I am... :> Well, it doesn't hurt anything to put the mount for nfs devices a few lines down (immediately after loading the nfs client/server packages) and I thought it was worth mentioning. Guess it's not a bug, but... I know this probably going to the wrong place, but I would appreciate it you could forward it to the right place and ask whoever to reply in regards when they get a chance...
