Restarting exports disturbs clients

2013-05-03 Thread Daniel Feenberg
When we change the exportfs file on our FreeBSD 9.1 fileserver: kill -HUP `cat /var/run/mountd.pid` it kills the jobs on clients that have files open on the fileserver. This is pretty inconvenient for users (and us). Is there a way around this? We have noticed that a Linux fileserver can

Depending on the shell you are using, you may be able to set that to auto-logout, or you could set a cron job to run every 5 minutes and terminate tty's with 5min idle time. Honestly though, you will rarely find a good technical solution to a social problem--there's always a work-around--and

Thanks for your response Markham, I'm afraid labor law is much too protective here for us to be able to educate users in this way ;) Your idea to run a cron job every X minutes has merit though, I'll try and check into that ! On May 3, 2013, at 4:51 PM, markham breitbach

Firing people for violating the 5 minute rule seems a tad extreme. If there is indeed a company policy regarding the 5 minute idle window you and you intend to roll forward with a connection kill script then also make screen or tmux available. In my experience people tend to be more accepting

Actually, changes to /etc/exports under FreeBSD take effect when you either kill -HUP mountd.pid or /etc/rc.d/mountd reload|restart on the nfs server, but both disrupt existing mounted shares on the nfs client. What we are looking for is an equivalent of exportfs -r under Linux. Is that
