Ultrix 3.1: VAX 785

I just ran into a problem today that almost seems to make sense.

I booted the system into multi-user mode and then unmounted a couple
of filesystems that are exported to a host of micros.  After successful
completion of some risky activities I remounted the filesystems.

Ever since, the micro's are unable to mount the exported filesystems
and the manual is void of instructions for what to do.  If it were a
sun, I'd maybe run /etc/exportfs to "re-export" the files, however for
some reason DEC doesn't have /etc/exportfs.

To make a long story short,  I touched /etc/exports and after a decent
interval, the other systems were finally able to mount the exported
filesystems.

It seem like either mount should be prodding nfs in some way or there
should be a documented user action ala exportfs to handle this sort
of situation.

Anybody else seen the same problem, or am I confused?
