Hi,
There is a simple patch at:
http://people.freebsd.org/~rmacklem/atomic-export.patch
that can be applied to a kernel + mountd, so that the new
nfsd can be suspended by mountd while the exports are being
reloaded. It adds a new "-S" flag to mountd to enable this.
(This avoids the long standing bug where clients receive ESTALE
replies to RPCs while mountd is reloading exports.)
I am emailing to request testing and/or review of this patch
by anyone who is interested. (One site has reported that the
patch worked well for them and another is testing it as I type
this.)
Thanks in advance for any comments, rick
