>Release: FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
RMIT Comp Sys Eng Dept.
>Environment:
Any FreeBSD system that is an NFS server
>Description:
New users configuring systems find it tricky to identify which
task to signal in order to have their /etc/exports file reread.
>How-To-Repeat:
-
>Fix:
I suggest we prepend the default /etc/exports file with something like
#
# After applying changes to the /etc/exports file, issue command
#
# kill -SIGHUP `cat /var/run/mountd.pid`
#
# to update exports known by the nfsd server tasks. See also "man mountd".
#
# (If you have not enabled NFS serving, revisit the system admin tool or
# edit /etc/rc.conf, and then reboot or start nfsd manually).
#
Thanks, Phillip.
