Yes, you should be using NFSCL and NFSD instead of NFSCLIENT and NFSSERVER now. 9 includes a new NFS client and server implementation that include NFSv4 support (and have cleaner code). GENERIC changed between 8 and 9 to switch to the new client and server, but it seems you are using an unmodified kernel config from 8 on 9? -- John Baldwin
