State Changed From-To: open->analyzed This is actually a nice idea, but we don't ship an /etc/exports file at this time, so we can't really use the idea right now. State Changed From-To: analyzed->closed Our /etc/rc* files look for the existence of /etc/exports, not for the existence of non-comment lines in it. Distributing a default /etc/exports will take som long-haired /etc/rc* work. |
New users configuring systems find it tricky to identify which task to signal in order to have their /etc/exports file reread. 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. How-To-Repeat: -
