Writing to a self mounted nfs file system.

[Dana Treadwell]

Self-mounting (a.k.a., loopback mounting) is not supported over NFS 
due to deadlocks (immediate on MP systems, and upon I/O on SP systems). 
You might look to automount(1M) to solve your /etc/fstab maintenance 
woes.

The mountd complaints in syslog point to a problem with YP/NIS (most 
likely, an out of date /etc/rpc database or domain name confusion).
