            Bug ID: 251211
           Summary: in netbooted machines, pid files for mountd,
                    automountd, and autounmountd cannot be created,
                    inhibiting their startup
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.2-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: d8zNeCFG at aon.at

Scenario:
- FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE #1 r367195M i386 with patches according to PR 250434 and
PR 249438 applied
- netbooting the system (in a VirtualBox instance)
- the rc scripts are being executed

Result:
- the following error lines appear on the console:

...
Starting automountd.
automountd: cannot open or create pidfile "/var/run/automountd.pid": Operation
not supported
/etc/rc: WARNING: failed to start automountd
Starting autounmountd.
autounmountd: cannot open or create pidfile "/var/run/autounmountd.pid":
Operation not supported
/etc/rc: WARNING: failed to start autounmountd
...
Starting mountd.
mountd: cannot open or create pidfile: Operation not supported
...

- mountd is started
- automountd and autounmountd are not started

Expected result:
- pid file creation for mountd, automountd, and autounmountd should succeed
- automountd and autounmountd should be started

Scenario (continued):
- logging into the system using ssh
- executing "service automountd start && service autounmountd start"

Result:
- both services are started correctly; pid files are created
