>Organization:
Japan FreeBSD Users' Group
>Environment:
Both FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT and 4.0-STABLE
>Description:
Assume that running kernel does not have NFS feature (no
"options NFS" line in kernel config).
If you type "mount nfsserver:/path/to/mountpoint /local/path",
mount_nfs automatically loads /modules/nfs.ko and the attempts
may success. Same scenario can be applied to fstab. Works perfect.
However, the amd automounter, does not know how to load NFS module.
You can see many warnings if the kernel does not have NFS
feature nor you doesn't load NFS modules *before* starting amd.
Maybe you say: hey, put 'nfs_load="YES"' to /boot/loader.conf.local.
But why, why mount(8) and fstab(5) works but amd(8) doesn't work?
I do not check other filesystems which is supported by amd and
has already have its own kernel modules, but maybe the same.
>How-To-Repeat:
- Install /kernel without NFS feature.
- Setup /etc/rc.conf{,local} to use amd.
- Boot FreeBSD and see how /etc/rc is processed.
>Fix:
Teach vfsload() and its associated funcalls to amd.
