"service nfs restart" on an RH-derived distro is the same as running "/etc/init.d/nfs restart". Init scripts vary between distros (and even between releases on the same distro). Since you're asking this in a more generic forum, you should probably be specific about what's actually being restarted (and in what order). Understanding that may also help you answer your own question here. > Step3.

NSM notifications are not sent and clients generally won't reclaim their locks. IOW, "you're doing it wrong". If you want locks to be reclaimed then you probably need to restart the nfslock service too. -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
