Re: Who has an NFS Mount Allocated?

Thanks Richard.  This was in *preparation *for the backup & IPL.

I eventually replied 'I' to the message because I knew the NFS wouldn't be
backed up.  However, whatever process it was prevented BRMS from taking the
system to a restricted state so it did not do the SAVSYS.  I didn't find
this out until Wednesday!
