'umount' the mount then 'mount' it again. This would require that no applications are using the directory at the time you try and unmount it (otherwise you get "device busy" error messages). I think there is a way to tell mount to remount the mount point such that the directory could be in use, but I'm not sure. The mount manpage should tell. HTH, -D
