It seems to be getting worse every day, so I hope someone has an idea. I was having problems remotely mounting a cdrom directory from my 1.1.5.1 machine wheere it's resident, to my 2.0 machine. I would get a symptom of mountd's being created once a second, and no way I could find to stop it. The mountd's are being created on the 1.1.5.1 machine. Yesterday, this happened on NFS mounts of normal directories, so I disabled nfs in /etc/netstart, and I've been looking for the problem. Today, I did a showmount, and the mountd processes started being created. They get created, in all cases, at the rate of about 1 per second, far too fast for killing. I don't know yet what's causing this.
