Greetings,

Just a question regarding NFS in 4.3-RELEASE.  I've got a machine that had
been running a version of 4.3-STABLE (I had been using cvsup to get the
latest source) that was a few months old.  The box had been serving as a
NFS client and had been working flawlessly.

Just recently (two days ago), I did another poll of cvsup to grab the
latest STABLE version of the FreeBSD 4 tree.  My new kernel had
essentially the same config as the previous one, and contains these lines:

options         NFS            #Network Filesystem
options         NFS_ROOT       #NFS usable as root device, NFS required

and also contained the conf options in rc.conf to start nfsiod:

    nfs_client_enable="YES"
    nfs_client_flags="-n 4"

When I reboot my machine with this kernel, however, all the necessary
processes start correctly (nfsiod, portmap, et al), but I get this in
/var/log/messages:

Jun 24 09:14:24 web1 /kernel: Starting final network daemons:
Jun 24 09:14:25 web1 /kernel: nfsiod
Jun 24 09:14:25 web1 /kernel: NFS access cache time=4
Jun 24 09:14:25 web1 /kernel: rpc.umntall:
Jun 24 09:14:25 web1 /kernel: gethostbyname(titan) failed
Jun 24 09:14:25 web1 /kernel:

the last three lines are repeated for each nfs file partition I'm
attempting to mount.

I had first thought that my firewall rules weren't working, so I turned
off firewall_enable and set default to accept and rebooted, but the same
error was occuring.

Does anyone have a comment or an idea? This isn't critical since I have a
working kernel based on a previous version of 4.3-STABLE, but it'd be nice
to have the latest once again.

Thanks in advance,

Jason
