RE: [cobalt-developers] Legato NetWorker process

["Jose Luis Aguilar" <jlaguilar@xxxxxxx>]

I found the bug for the networker client and server always runnig.

Whenever you enable or disable Legato Networker on the GUI control panel,
Cobalt's Sauce looks for the networker init.d file as being "S99networker",
but somehow in my /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ directory, the file was called
"S95networker". Because it never found "S99networker", the system thought
the service was off, and never tried to turn it off.

Seems like its sleeping and swapped out like nfsiods on Qube2s

Hmm. This is sleeping too, but not swapped out.

Yup, seems like NetWorker is running at boot-up either from a rc.d script
or as a loadable device driver / module. To verify, do chkconfig --list
and try to find if nsrexecd is listed, and if so, do chkconfig --del
nsrexecd.
Though this did not work when we tried to rid our Qube2 of NFS, even
though it seemed like it was removed with chkconfig --del, it is loaded
with the kernel as 4 nsfiod processes.  We belive these 4 processes are
used to enable the CD Restore to do a net boot.  There is a NSF daemon
that is generated on the PC during the restore process, and when holding
down the 4 arrow buttons on the Cobalt, the 4 nfsiod clients are booted
awake from their normal sleeping state and facilitate the re-format and
install of O/S packages, like this from the "Console on" null cable session
though the serial port:
bfd /boot/vmlinux.gz
root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/nfsroot, resulting in a netboot.
I borrowed that from the netbsd port site for Cobalts:
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/cobalt/faq.html
If its a module, you have to figure a way to unload it or possibly
re-compile
the kernel, which is not realistic.  Do you have SW nfsiod clients running
on your Raq3?
