Thanx for your help, but is there another way to solve the problem My server is a live monitoring & http server and a reboot is a risk (customers complaining... no monitoring of our routers, billing data lost...) I perfer not to reboot when not needed.
I re-created the dir /home/mrtg/scripts/billing , now he gives the error: unexporting 192.168.230.5:/home/mrtg/scripts/billing from kernel 192.168.230.5:/home/mrtg/scripts/billing: Invalid argument unexporting 192.168.230.4:/home/mrtg/scripts/billing from kernel 192.168.230.4:/home/mrtg/scripts/billing: Invalid argument I also restarted the whole NFS process, but with no result...
