(See https://reviews.freebsd.org/D2506) The patch already in head/current (r281699) should fix your problem. (It stops mountd from updating non-exported mounts.) It has not been MFC'd, but I will look into that. I don't know if it could also be an errata. Since it now appears to be a fix for an observed bug and not just an optimization, maybe? rick > Thanks for the quick responses. > > David Boyd. > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
