Hi Bruce,

Thanks for instant reply.

Could you turn off html formatting on your mail? >

The option you mentioned is working. 'exportfs -f'

Actually it is not mentioned anywhere - even when checked for options:

#> exportfs -h
exportfs: invalid option -- 'h'
usage: exportfs [-aruv] [host:/path]

Sorry, it looks like the help test could be improved! Patches welcomed.... It is documented in the exportfs man page. >

But - when tried to give - '-f' option it is working.

Then on checking the code for exportfs - got to know the working of '-f' option.

I think it should work. I will check with a number of scenario - to check there is no blockage for other mount points - at the time 'exportfs -f' is being run. Please reply if it wont :)

If no clients are using the export, it should work. --b.
