    I have a number of AIX boxes. They connect to a single NFS server (actually a windows server with NFS services). All the other machines bar one were working fine. The error i was seeing was:

    ERROR: The /net/tiny/Dev_Tools directory could not be found.

    The two machines that were having issues last week, i changed /net in auto_master to /net2, rebooted, removed net, changed it back to /net, rebooted and it seemed to be working fine for a few days. The second machine is still working fine.

    However one of the machines yesterday evening started showing the same error again. When it happens, i can still ping and nslookup tiny. If i use stopsrc and startsrc on the daemon, it works after the restart.

    Wondering if anyone has any ideas.
