Whenever I kill -HUP the mountd on our FreeBSD servers it causes, momentarily, for all connections to all clients to be denied as it reads the new information. This is *highly* undesirable (and not mentioned at all in the man pages). This is even worse than a system reboot in many aspects since a reboot will just hang connections, while this actaully gives permission denied. As a side effect, any program that is running off of the NFS mount, should it need to access a page not in cache will be immediately be killed *BAD*. Is there any way arround this problem? None of Solaris, HP-UX, or even *gasp* Irix exhibit this behaviour. -- David Cross To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
