turn off nfs

cruxer · 2011-09-30 20:05:19

This nfs daemon is running on the default install. I have no need to nfs services and actually it seems to cause delay in tail logging.

root 486 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< Sep11 0:00 [nfsiod]

How can I switch the nfsiod service off.

I did a /etc/rc.d/netfs stop it still is running

I'm out of my comfort zone here, but I think that's a kernel thing. I have the process running too, and there's no references to nfsiod in my filesystem. In the process tree, it is a child of kthreadd (run ps axjf if you're curoious). IOW, I think you'd have to tinker with the kernel to do anything about it.

edit: Also, you should put console stuff in code tags for better readability:

root       486  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        S<   Sep11   0:00 [nfsiod]

See https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode if you're not familiar with BBcode.

The square brackets do indeed indicate it's a kernel-level service.

From the nfsiod manual:

The nfsiod utility is a kernel process which runs on an NFS client
machine to service asynchronous I/O requests to its server. It improves
performance but is not required for correct operation.

I thought that might be the case.

But in that case how do I stop all nfs related services on the system.

Oh, BTW, thanks for the info about the brackets, I was wondering about that.

I might be missing the point here, but have you rebooted after removing netfs from DAEMONS? I am asking because over this week I did 3 installs of arch and none of them has nfsiod running.

I also suspect that you have nfs.ko loaded, so you could just blacklist it in modprobe.conf...

where is the DAEMONS file located

No offense, but how did you get Arch installed without knowing about DAEMONS? It's a line (the last line) of /etc/rc.conf.

Seems it's just an online man page then .
