That'll get nlockmgr trying to restart again.

This is more a question for the illumos list than for here.

My first suspicion is NFS4.  I didn't notice much of this myself until I upgraded one of my household macs to 10.9.  I use autofs with all of my household Macs, but I didn't see weirdness until I brought one of them up from 10.6 to 10.9.

I wonder if there's some NFS4.1 path, perhaps, that's triggering an untested "Not supported" case?
