    moving and unmounting export volume: Do you need to stop NFS server

    I have a /data volume being exported to NFS clients via, /etc/exports. I have unmounted the NFS volumes on the clients, and stopped service(s): nfslock, portmap.

    On the NFS server side, I am planning to move /data mounted on say a disk: /dev/sda1 to say /dev/mapper/VolGroup02-lvol00.

    Question I have is, do you have to STOP NFS services on the NFS server: service nfs stop?

    thanks

    Not sure you have to stop it. You could just edit your export.conf file and restart NFS
