>Release: FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE i386
>Environment:
FreeBSD 2.2.{5,6} boxes, all of which mount /usr via NFS
>Description:
During bootup, /usr/sbin/sysctl is called before any NFS
partitions are mounted. This means that if you mount /usr
over NFS, you cannot set any kernel options during bootup
- or at least not without putting them into another rc.d
script which would be executed after the NFS partitions
are mounted.
>How-To-Repeat:
Create a /usr partition on NFS server, change /etc/fstab
and watch the sysctl: file-not-found error during bootup.
>Fix:
Ideally, sysctl should be located in /sbin. The problem would then
disappear.
