Re: NFS mount error

Since you seem to know it all, please do continue to enlighten us.

But consider this...

About twenty years ago I had the pleasure of meeting ASDF Lieutenant
General Namitami, Commander, Air Defense Command (and later Chief of
Staff), at a diplomatic dinner at the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo. In his
country where military officers are routinely treated as social
outcasts, Namitami was revered as a national treasure, a man of great
honor and respect.  When an American on our study team asked him for the
secret of his success, the general smiled broadly and said, "I have
never missed an opportunity to keep my mouth shut."
