Exporting external disks

[Graaf_van_Vlaanderen]

What is the proper way to export a file system after the system is already running .
I want to export a manually mounted file system. So I guess I should adjust

/etc/exports

after I have manually mounted (ntfs-3g) the external ntfs drive.
Currently I haven't been able to export this external drive through nfs.
Is running

/etc/rc.d/nfsd restart

sufficient after

/etc/exports

has been updated?
Exporting an extra disc which is listed in fstab on the other hand works fine.

Hi,

the simplest way to re-read the exports file is to run:

# pkill -HUP mountd

It´s the mountd daemon that needs to re-read the config...

thanks Andy.
