Re: Unable to mount NFS after upgrade to V6R1

For the sake of the archives, I found the solution:

MOUNT TYPE(*NFS)
MFS('192.168.x.x:sharename')
MNTOVRDIR('/ifspath')
CCSID(1252 *ASCII)

The command worked prior to V6R1, but now fails with CPFA1C6:


Starting with V6R1, i5/OS validates the pathname in the MFS() keyword -- the
portion after the : delimiter -- contains a slash. When connecting to a
*nix box, as is typical with NFS, that would probably always be true
anyway. For a Windows box, you set the NFS share name in the folder
properties.

Prior to V6R1, you could mount a folder just giving the name is it appeared
in the Windows properties page. At V6R1, you must include a / in the MFS()
parameter but do NOT include it in the Windows NFS share name properties.
So if the Windows share name is "sharename", you would use:

MOUNT TYPE(*NFS) MFS('hostname:/sharename') ....

The share name is case sensitive. IBM also had me add a host table entry
and use a host name instead of IP, but I don't know that is necessary.
