Export new exports without reloading/restarting NFS

o In general when appending the /etc/exports file there is no need for the reload to occur.

o The critical component is to export the new entries via rpc:

Code: Select all

  EX:
  # exportfs -avr 
o It is recommended to run a simple test of the above, in which the new subnet is appended to the /etc/exports and said file is exported via the above command.

o Following this you can test on one of the new clients to see if the mount is available.

o Overall, running the 'exportfs' command will not have any impact on currently mounted shares.

o We would not anticipate that running any daemon reload is needed for the changes.
