Here's the 'FM' for you (excerpted from the rpc.mountd man page): SIGNALS When receiving a SIGHUP, mountd will re-read the exports file. Note that to make export changes take effect, you have to send nfsd a SIGHUP as well.
Ie. you should run 'killall -HUP rpc.mountd nfsd'. Tim O'Brien wrote: > I was wondering..
