Ultrix 3.1: VAX 785
I just ran into a problem today that almost seems to make sense.
I booted the system into multi-user mode and then unmounted a couple
of filesystems that are exported to a host of micros. After successful
completion of some risky activities I remounted the filesystems.
Ever since, the micro's are unable to mount the exported filesystems
and the manual is void of instructions for what to do. If it were a
sun, I'd maybe run /etc/exportfs to "re-export" the files, however for
some reason DEC doesn't have /etc/exportfs.
To make a long story short, I touched /etc/exports and after a decent
interval, the other systems were finally able to mount the exported
filesystems.
It seem like either mount should be prodding nfs in some way or there
should be a documented user action ala exportfs to handle this sort
of situation.
Anybody else seen the same problem, or am I confused?
