Hi, There is a simple patch at: http://people.freebsd.org/~rmacklem/atomic-export.patch that can be applied to a kernel + mountd, so that the new nfsd can be suspended by mountd while the exports are being reloaded. It adds a new "-S" flag to mountd to enable this. (This avoids the long standing bug where clients receive ESTALE replies to RPCs while mountd is reloading exports.) I am emailing to request testing and/or review of this patch by anyone who is interested. (One site has reported that the patch worked well for them and another is testing it as I type this.) Thanks in advance for any comments, rick
