Hello Ben, there is no mentioning of this IMHO breaking change in a Deb12's /usr/share/doc/nfs-kernel-server/NEWS.Debian.gz. Besides… usual systems can have many hundreds of NEWS files. Nobody is able to read those during a system upgrade, and there was no mentioning of this fact in neither https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/release-notes/index.en.html nor https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/release-notes/issues.en.html — I always read these pages very carefully before upgrading. Maybe, I'm part of a minority with my setup…
I presume the new intended way of handling things is editing /etc/nfs.conf, and setting the threads parameter within [nfsd]. It would have been really helpful if the package upgrade scripts would do this parameter migration if they have been changed, and give a warning with e. g. dialog. I'll revisit the initscript and /etc/default, and clean up manually, so the Deb14-Upgrade will go smoothly. Thanks for the insight!
