>Release:        FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT i386
>Organization:
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Department of Computer Science
>Environment:

FreeBSD NFS server, serving combination SGI/HP-UX/FreeBSD/Solaris clients

>Description:

Restarting mountd (via kill and restart or HUP-ing the process) will
temporarily cause all existing mounts to be denied access, and new mounts to
be refused with a 'permission denied' error.

>How-To-Repeat:
2 Machines, a NFS server, and a NFS client.  Create a simple '/etc/exports'
file on the server and start NFS services (nfsd, mountd, etc...).  Mount an
exported partion on the client (e.g. "mount server:/export /mnt").  Start a
tar of that directory on the client (should be alot of files in order to give
you time to complete all of these steps.) (e.g. "tar -cpf /dev/null /mnt").
While the tar is still running on the client, send the mount daemon on the
server a SIGHUP (e.g. "kill -HUP <mountdPID>").  Now watch the permission
denied error messages scroll by on the client.

>Fix:
	
None known.
