We used forcereload, but that isn't really intuitive to a user, esp. given that mountd is implicitly started, but issuing a reload just silently fails. If the reload attempt whined, or if rc.d was smarter about implicit dependencies so that it would see that mountd was implicitly started and thus implicitly enable reload, either of those would be a vast improvement over the current system. -- John Baldwin
