nfsstat reports when executed via nfsstat -s Warning: /proc/net/rpc/nfsd: No such file or directory Is the file/directory referred disappeared with 2.4 kernels, or what?
/proc/net/rpc/nfsd isn't created until nfs services are started up for the first time. But once started, the file should hang around forever. Were nfs services running on this machine?
David, I think this has to be restarted with a new bug if still a problem.
