>Description:
pkbsd:#grep "nfs.*server_enable" defaults/rc.conf
nfs_server_enable="NO" # This host is an NFS server (or NO).
oldnfs_server_enable="NO" # Run the old NFS server (YES/NO).
nfsv4_server_enable="NO" # Enable support for NFSv4
It took me a bit to trace exactly what happens when both these options are set to "NO" in defaults/rc.conf - Which one is started? Initially I figured nfsv4 is started as oldnfs is set to NO, but then nfsv4 was also set to NO. Only after looking through /etc/rc.d/nfsd and then looking at 'man nfsd' and the '-o' option did that clear it up.
-o Forces the use of the old NFS server that does not include NFSv4
support in it.
Maybe instead of '# Run the old NFS server (YES/NO).' [Sounds like "run nfsv3"]
put in '# Force old NFSv3 only server (YES/NO)' - More inline/same terminology as the man page for 'nfsd'.
or
'# Force old non NFSv4 server'
>How-To-Repeat:
grep "nfs.*server_enable" defaults/rc.conf
man nfsd|grep -A 1 -- -o
>Fix:
Change defaults/rc.conf one liner to resemble 'man nfsd' terminology.
