Snoop ... I was messing with NFS mounts on a Mac client and the
mounts were taking quite a bit of time so I pulled snoop out.
So even after I tuned /etc/default/nfs to max out at version 3 for
the client and the server and then restarted the NFS server SMF
service, the nfsmapid daemon was still probing DNS for the
_nfsv4idmapdomain TXT record. I found this odd. (My /etc/default/
nfs file has the NFSMAPID_DOMAIN variable commented out - not sure if
this stops nfsmapid from probing DNS or not but this isn't the point
of my question). I disabled the nfsmapid SMF service and tried
again. The DNS probes no longer occurred and my Mac continued to
mount NFS mounts points fine.
Actually technically speaking a Mac client only supports up to NFS
version 3 currently (I'm running OS X 10.4.9) so even if I hadn't
tuned /etc/default/nfs to max out at version 3 it would still seem
logical that nfsmapid shouldn't be doing anything when I attempt
NFSv3 mounts.
