>Description:
The command "zfs share -a" does not make mountd reread the configuration file. One must send SIGHUP manually so that mountd notices changes in /etc/zfs/exports
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Set the "sharenfs=on" property on some filesystem within zfs.
2. Say "zfs unshare -a"
3. Say "zfs share -a"

You won't be able to see the shares (e.g. in "showmount -e") unless you send SIGHUP to mountd manually.


>Fix:
A workaround: you can use "killall -HUP mountd" after every "zfs share -a" command.
