Re: NFS mount problem

Mark,

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

I apologize for not being clear about this earlier;
    "mount -o nolock server:/mount /mnt/nfs"
I'm just using the generic form of the command here as an
illustration. My objective was to emphasize the options
(nolock) that we used. The "server" is simply a placeholder representing
any legitimate NFS server accessed by a FQDN or IP address.
