>Description:
      Adding a -mapall option to an entry in /etc/exports doesn't seem to have any effect, even when restarting the nfs server and mountds.  Only after rebooting the server the change comes into effect.  It is nonsensical that a change of nfsd export attributes requires a system reboot, instead of just an nfs server restart.

>How-To-Repeat:
      I have the following line in /etc/exports:

/usr -mapall=mkb:mkb -network 192.168.0.0 -mask 255.255.255.0

Before that, I already exported it without the mapall directive.
Mounting on clients worked in both cases but after adding the mapall directive, no remapping was done.  I also tried with numerical ids, without groups, and various permutations thereof.
I restarted nfsd with /etc/rc.d/nfsd restart, /etc/rc.d/mountd restart, and even stopped and started the servers manually.
The filesystem was unmounted on the client during restarts.
I noticed that nfsiod wasn't affected by these restarts.
