NFS client problem – how to get to FreeNAS NFS server settings?

[KrisBee]

I’m trying to debug a NFS client problem and my basic understanding of FreeNAS internals it that at system boot the configuration is in essence split between some static settings in /etc/rc.conf and dynamic settings in /etc/rc.conf.local. In the later case, these come from interrogating the FreeNAS internal configuration DB.

In std FreeBSD, you could check the relevant nfs server settings in r.conf, which might be for example:

Code:

rpc_lockd_enable="YES"
rpc_statd_enable="YES"
rpcbind_enable="YES"
nfs_access_cache=0
nfs_server_flags="-r -a -t -n 4"
nfs_server_enable="YES"
mountd_enable="YES"
idmapd_enable="NO"

Obviously, you can check what daemons are running in FreeNAS and sysctl -a | grep string gives the value of “vfs.nfsd.enable_stringtouid“, but what about other settings?

The settings dealing with the NFS server seem to be handled in the _gen_conf() function of the FreeNAS /etc/rc.conf.local script. But when you see lines like these:

Code:

echo "nfsv4_server_enable=\"YES\""
echo "nfsuserd_enable=\"NO\""
echo "nfsuserd_flags=\"-manage-gids\""

where are these values being echoed to, and how can they be displayed?

Didn't find an answer to my question other than I thought the rc.conf defaults meant those echoed messagesI asked were surpressed at boot, but changing the syslog level to "deubg" made no difference.

My NFS problem actually stemmed from a mix up over a user uid/guid and a mis-understanding of the meaning of "NFSv4 with NFSv3 owner model".
