Package: nfs-utils Version: 1:1.3.4-6 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Currently, the postinst script for nfs-kernel-server restarts nfs-kernel-server on update. This is completely stops the NFS server, killing all connections, as explained in rpc.nfsd(8). While clients will reconnect, this seems to be an unnecessary interuption. Moreover, should for some reason the NFS server fail te start, then the consequences are more severe. Therefore, I suggest that nfs-kernel-server/nfs-server should not but restarted on package updates. In which way this is accomplished isn't entirely clear to me as other services restart with nfs-server, and it may be advised to restart those on upgrade.
