I think your missing the whole point. It's not suppose to be doing this. This is a release build error. In the 4.x releases the kernel had NFS support complied into the default kernel, but when you have no NFS statements in rc.conf those tasks in question are not auto spawned. Why would this behavior be changed in 5.3 to one that consumes resources. It has to be a mistake. If what you assert is true then when doing a source update to 5.3 why does these nfs tasks not auto spawn there. You assertion that its designed to work that way it just plain silly and only means you know not what you talk about. Time to submit another bug report so maybe its gets fixed in 5.4 -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Kris Kennaway Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2005 9:03 PM To: bob@a1poweruser.com Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.

The GENERIC (i.e. default) kernel is configured to allow NFS client support, which means that the nfsiod kernel processes are spawned at boot time. If you don't want this, reconfigure your kernel to disable the NFS client support. Or don't, because the resource usage is negligible. Kris P.S. You're still top-posting. If you can't be bothered to format your posts properly, I won't bother to help you.
