I've been dodging this issue for a while but the work around (reboot)
is becoming quite an interruption now.

If I have a machine /net/netapp with two exported shares vol1 and vol2
I'm able to access them just fine. If I add/export a new share say vol3
I can't see it from /net/netapp/vol3 unless I reboot the machine. I've
tried restarting statd and lockd but that doesn't help. Anyone else run
into this?

I'm running SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-14 sun4u sparc

Thank you

If I understand your problem correctly, You can run 'shareall' to share
the newly added shares.

With the /net automount map, the client will not check for new shares
on the server as long as any of that server's shares are mounted.
The /net map can be really convienient at times, but it has it's
limitations, and this is one of them. You might want to consider
using an indirect map instead.
