Actually, changes to /etc/exports under FreeBSD take effect when you either kill -HUP mountd.pid or /etc/rc.d/mountd reload|restart on the nfs server, but both disrupt existing mounted shares on the nfs client. What we are looking for is an equivalent of exportfs -r under Linux. Is that available under FreeBSD? Thanks.

When we change the exportfs file on our FreeBSD 9.1 fileserver:

  kill -HUP `cat /var/run/mountd.pid`

That seems a bit harsh, try /etc/rc.d/nfsd restart or
/etc/nfsserver restart.

Sending SIGHUP to mountd has always been the right way to have it reread
the exports file - should really be much less disruptive than restarting
the service.

We have tried both and both disruptive NFS clients.
