I am setting up a NFS file server, and I have edited the file at /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server so that mountd is set to a defined port, rather than a random one.

I tried sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart and sudo service nfs-mountd restart but no luck, rpcinfo -p still shows mountd with the random port. If I restart it uses the new port so I know my config file is sane.

Is there a way to restart mountd so it uses the new port without restarting the machine?

Looks like you have to first restart nfs-config. This recommendation did the trick for me:

sudo systemctl try-restart nfs-config.service \
                           rpcbind.service \
                           rpc-statd.service \
                           nfs-server.service
