Hi there,

OS: Solaris 9, NFS v3

*** At one point the "nfs.client" on our server was NOT turned ON. At thi=
s time we noticed that the rpcbind(process) was consistently about 12-13%=
 in CPU use. Which seemed strange but could not find an answer to this. N=
FSD stayed up 11%. The nfs.client as I found out, started lockd and other=
 programs "nlockmgr & status" important for NFS file locking from the cli=
ents perspective.=20

Q1) Is this normal for rpcbind ? If yes/no then can anyone explain, why d=
id our rpcbind cpu usage dropped to almost less then 1% consistently afte=
r we TUNRNED ON nfs.client on our server. Since I started NFS client on t=
he server I never saw it going up above 1%. ???

Q2) what does nfs.client have to do with RPCBIND's above described behavi=
our ???
  =20
  Any feedback will be greatly helpful!

  ~thanks ~al
