- You actually want to kill NFS while in use? Hmm...I've never done this,
- but you could make a script or something to swap the exports file with one
- which doesn't export then issue a HUP signal to the appropriate daemons.
- That should reset everything, but I don't know what will happen to transactions
- happening at the time of death.
-
- Good Luck(oh, please post back a solution if you find one).
