Description of problem: Use pkill ganesha.nfsd to kill nfs-ganesha. After a few seconds, check rpcinfo -p to see if it lists any nfs services, none is seen. showmount -e localhost shows, clnt_create: RPC: Program not registered. Although the services are unregistered and ports are clear, ps aux | grep ganesha shows the process is still running, root 3801 0.0 3.2 1461116 127664 ? Sl Jul13 0:07 /usr/local/bin/ganesha.nfsd -f nfs-ganesha.conf -L log.3 -N NIV_EVENT I'd have to use kill -9 on the PID of nfs-ganesha to get the expected results. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): V2.1 How reproducible: Intermittently Steps to Reproduce: 1. Export a volume/directory using nfs-ganesha. 2. When the server has been active for a long time, execute pkill ganesha.nfsd to kill it. 3. Check rpcinfo -p and showmount to see the status. 4. Execute ps aux | grep ganesha to see if ganesha is running. Actual results: 1.[root@dhcp43-78 glusterfs-jun-11]# ps aux | grep ganesha root 3801 0.0 3.5 1604532 138024 ?
