mountd acting strangely

[Chad M Stewart]

Maybe someone can shed some light on this one for me.  I'm using 
FreeBSD as the nfs server and Mac OS X (10.3.2) as the client.  If I 
boot the FreeBSD box, then I am unable to mount from my Mac.  However 
if I simply restart mountd on the server then the client can perform 
the mount.

bash-2.05b# ps ax|grep mountd
    78  ??  Ss     0:00.00 mountd -n
bash-2.05b# kill -TERM 78
bash-2.05b# mountd -n

bash-2.05b# grep mount /etc/rc.conf
mountd_flags="-n"               # Flags to mountd (if NFS server 
enabled).


It is not a fluke thing, it is repeatable, i.e. reboot the server.


Thanks,
