> What's all this about loopback mounts in fstab about? What does > that have to do with diskless startup? I've got a loopback mount in /var/db/mounttab that looks like this: 946789037 localhost /null which is there because I run cfs (a crypto file system; see /usr/ports/security/cfs). Part of the cfs startup script does this: /usr/local/sbin/cfsd && mount -o port=3049,intr localhost:/null /crypt The problem is that when you boot, the invocation of 'rpc.umntall -k' hangs for a while trying to contact the mountd or portmapper on localhost. If it was smart enough to recognize an ICMP port unreachable error and move on, we wouldn't have this problem. It's not that I think moving mountd and portmap is necessarily a good idea; this is just one scenario which perhaps has prompted this line of thought. louie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
