This is all I managed to retrieve from the logs (/var/log/daemons, /var/log/messages):
Mar 12 09:27:20 server mountd[50607]: Socket disconnected Mar 29 18:05:30 server mountd[52162]: Socket disconnected Apr 16 12:04:07 server mountd[66430]: Socket disconnected Apr 17 17:55:26 server mountd[14081]: Socket disconnected No messages from nfsd and portmap. If the logs are true, then mountd is the daemon that is causing problems. The manual says > -d Enable debugging mode. mountd will not detach from the > controlling terminal and will print debugging messages to stderr. The above option does not work, because it detaches from the terminal: > > doas /sbin/mountd -d > Here we go. I tried "mountd_flags=-d" in rc.conf.local, and rebooted the whole OS, because mountd refuses soft restart. As a result, the OS refuses to boot. System crashed.
