My experience has been that you have to restart mountd entirely -- it saves
state somewhere and is a bit bitchy (at least under SunOS).
Also reexporting a FS has failed me in the past.
Also, I do not know if the ISO-9960 FS supports the operations required by
NFS or not -- I know the recently posted PCFS doesn't, so it probably does
not.
Ie: you shouldn't necessarily expect the above advice to fix your problem.
