It sounds like you don't have NFS installed properly on the 2.2.1 box. (we have NFS working fine between 2.0.2 and 2.2, so I don't think that is the problem). I would try re-installing NFS to see if it clears the problem. One thing to check would be to run "strings /etc/mount | grep NFS" if you don't see several lines of output including an SCCSID for Lachman, at least this way you will know you have the correct mount command. >I have tried to mount it manually and I cannot get past this error. The other things you can try are: manually mount a local file system onto your own machine manually mount with just the NFS,soft type (yes that will be a problem if you ran the system that way, but at least you can see if you get past the mount) -- Conor P.
