Re: NFS exports; folder no longer exists

The Change NFS Export (CHGNFSEXP) command (or EXPORTFS if you prefer the 
Unixy version) is used to define the exports.  The information about the 
exports is stored in the /etc/exports file.

I don't know if that is causing the dump.  You should check the CPFA0D4 
message (File system error occurred) for the error number and follow the 
instructions in the second level help.

You can edit the exports file directly using the EDTF utility but CHGNFSEXP 
is the preferred method.  (Of course, Rochester would say the preferred 
method is OpsNav but we know better than that!!)  The help text for the 
CHGVFSEXP command is particularly good.
