This means that if you mount /usr over NFS, you cannot set any kernel options during bootup - or at least not without putting them into another rc.d script which would be executed after the NFS partitions are mounted. >How-To-Repeat: Create a /usr partition on NFS server, change /etc/fstab and watch the sysctl: file-not-found error during bootup. >Fix: Ideally, sysctl should be located in /sbin. The problem would then disappear. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
