Re: Unable to mount NFS after upgrade to V6R1

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

V6R1 has added new versions of NFS to its arsenal - maybe a mismatch 
there. As Rob says, call IBM. And maybe look in the software knowledge 
base at iSeries support and search for NFS for more information first. 
And maybe the Memo to Users. I've not looked, so that is just a general 
recommendation for any new release.
