nvidia drivers and nfs-utils not compatible together talos 1.12.0 - 1.12.2

[epictralala]

Talso 1.12.0 - 1.12.2

Description

We are running Talos on bare metal/VMware. Whenever we deploy Talos with NVIDIA drivers (open or proprietary), the nfs-utils service fails to start rpc-statd. Our setup involves using NetApp with Trident for RWX volumes to store LLM data.

Observation:

• NVIDIA drivers work fine without NFS.
• NFS works fine without NVIDIA drivers.
• However, the two cannot run simultaneously.

Problem

The nfs-utils service cannot run in parallel with NVIDIA drivers because the nvidia-container-toolkit provides /usr/local/lib/libcap.so.2. This library is loaded by extra-rpc-statd from nfs-utils, even though nfs-utils does not require or use /usr/local/lib/libcap.so.
Question:
Is there a way to prevent nfs-utils from loading /usr/local/lib/libcap.so.2?
