 Note the mountd_flags entry. mountd is what actually handles the mount request from clients. The -r flag allows individual files to be mounted, such as swap a swap file, or a virtual image. Additional flags may be specified. See //man 5 mountd// for more information. Two nice ones are the -h and -p flags which allow you to specify the IP and Port mountd will listen on.
+===== Maintenance =====
+If you need to add/remove/modify the NFS shares, create/modify any file systems on the server, then add/edit the appropriate stanzas to /etc/exports. Once you have done that, tell mountd to re-read the configuration:
+<code bash>
+service mountd reload
+</code>
+At this point, the modifications will be in effect. NOTE, if you have modified a share which was mounted, you should umount it, make the changes, then remount.
