I changed the user id of a user on an NFS client that mounts a volume from another server. My goal is to get the 2 users to have the same id, so that both servers can read and write to the volume.
I changed the id successfully on the client system, but now when I look at the NFS mount from that system, it reports the files being owned by the old id. So it looks like I need to "refresh" that mount.
I have found many instructions on how to remount, but each seems slightly different according to the type of system. Is there a simple command I can run to get the mounted volume to refresh so that it interprets the new user settings?

It sounds like you need to change the ownership of the files -- not remount the share. The files will continue to be owned by the old UID since nothing has been done about that.
As root or with
sudo:find /path/to/share/. -uid $OLDUID -exec chown $USER {} \;That said, to answer the question you can remount a share on any Linux system with the remount option to the
mountcommand.mount -o remount /mountpoint
