and Jan wrote that this conclusion is wrong. I just want to say
that the original suggestion in the message,
The `simplest' thing in this case is to log into the SCM, and run:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/update.init restart
And then do the same thing on all other servers.
Well, I came to my conclusion because I had restarted everything
on the machine that had the client problem (and was also a
server for replicas) [not the SCM] and the problem remained
with not being able to mount the volume. The problem was only
solved when the machine was rebooted. I assume that in the
case the actual cause was subtle.
