NFS4 and idmapd

GML3G0 · #1 14th November 2004, 06:42 PM

What is NFS4 and idmapd. They start up during boot and they take forever. They account for 1/3 of my bootup time. Can I disable them? How? I don't see nfs4 or idmapd under Server Settings --> Services. NFS is there and I disabled it, but nfs4 still loads during boot.

rpcidmapd and netfs can be disabled if you're not using NFS. I think services begining with "rpc" in their name, plus portmap can be disabled as well.

Edit: Scratch that. Found out I don't need it.

Network File System - this is a protocol originally developed by Sun and released into the public domain that allows two (or more) computer systems to share filesystems over the network.

2 months later? lol. I received in email telling me about a response to this thred and I'm like, noooow? lol. Yea, I got it fixed though. Thanks.

EDIT: Oh, wait, I didn't read the bottom part, you want help? Oh, sorry, lol. Just read the above posts. Its services with rpc in the beginning of their name that you want to disable. If you need anything else just ask.
