Yeah, the clients may hold opens or locks on the filesystem and those don't get removed on exports -r. For now shutting down the server is the only solution.

Nevertheless, for future reference it would be interesting to know what exactly you're trying to do. --b. -- 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
