Hi Jason

If read that post correctly then Kevin seems to be talking of NFS over a NAS box .
Whereas Greg is asking about NFS mounted filesystem by a AIX server .

Am i right ?

I do know of NFS v3.0 out there which uses tcp ofr transport instead of udp but i am not sure what greg is asking for is a supported configuration

regards
Hrishy
