NFSD service failing

[nitrobass24]

For weeks now I have been fighting an issue where my NFS datastores on my ESX boxes would lose their connectivity. I have finally traced the issue back to the NFS daemon on the NAS.

Code:

[root@freenas] ~# cat /var/log/messages | grep nfs
May 25 21:28:08 freenas nfsd: can't register svc name
May 30 00:05:24 freenas notifier: Stopping nfsd.
May 30 00:05:24 freenas notifier: Stopping nfsuserd.
May 30 00:05:25 freenas notifier: Starting nfsuserd.
May 30 00:05:25 freenas notifier: Starting nfsd.
May 30 00:05:25 freenas nfsd[60563]: Can't read stable storage file: Operation not permitted
May 30 00:08:22 freenas notifier: nfsd not running? (check /var/run/nfsd.pid).
May 30 00:08:22 freenas notifier: Stopping nfsuserd.
May 30 00:08:22 freenas notifier: Starting nfsuserd.
May 30 00:08:22 freenas notifier: Starting nfsd.
May 30 00:08:23 freenas nfsd: can't register svc name
May 30 00:36:34 freenas nfsd: can't register svc name
[root@freenas] ~#

Any ideas on what I should check to get this resolved?

Which version of FreeNAS?

Is this NFSv3 or 4? Is Kerberos being used?
