Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHCO_14175

Symptoms:
	PHCO_14175:
	The NFS mount options -obg and -oretry=n do not
	work as described when the mount command is used,
	with the exception of the 'mount -a' case.  There
	are no retries performed if the initial mount
	fails, and thus, the subsequent retries cannot
	be run in the background.

	PHCO_13847:
	This patch is part of the 10.20 ACE 2 bundle which
	adds networking enhancements to 10.20.  New networking
	features supported in ACE 2 include NFS Version 3.0,
	AutoFS, and CacheFS.

	PHCO_9696:
	When mount is invoked without any arguments, the dates
	presented at the mount times for each file system will
	show the hour as if the user is in time zone EST5EDT,
	regardless of what time zone the user is actually
	using.

	PHCO_8008:
	When /sbin/mount was called with file system types not
	included in HP-UX (such as by other applications), and the
	first item to mount was a directory, mount will fail with
	an invalid file system type message.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_14175:
	If the user uses the "-oretry=2" option or any larger
	number, only one attempt will be made to mount the NFS
	file system.  Since the "-obg" option relies on retrying
	the mount if it fails, this will not appear to work since
	"bg" puts the mount in the background on subsequent
	attempts and currently only one attempt is made.

	PHCO_13847:
	New functionality to support networking features in 10.20.

	PHCO_9696:
	Use the command 'mount' to show the times when file
	systems were mounted.  The hour will be relative to
	time zone EST5EDT regardless of the time zone the user
	has specified in his environment.

	PHCO_8008:
	When the first argument to mount is a directory, the mount
	wrapper would try to process it with its known file system
	types, and when this did not fit into the known categories,
	would fail.  The mount wrapper should not be checking this
	value, and should let the file system specific version of
	the mount command determine if it is an error.

Installation Instructions:

	------------------------------------------------------------
	1. Back up your system before installing a patch.

	2. Login as root.

	3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory.

	4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch:

		cd /tmp
		sh PHCO_14175

	5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the
	    patch:

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHCO_14175.depot

	5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the
	    server to install the patch on the server and the clients:

		swcluster -i -b

	    This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and
	    force all clients to be shut down.

	    WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the
		     patch installation.  Installing the patch while the
		     clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to
		     serious problems.

	    The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which
	    you must specify:

		alternate root path  -  default is /export/shared_root/OS_700
		source depot path    -  /tmp/PHCO_14175.depot

	    To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing
	    "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install"
	    from the Menubar.

	5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster:

		- run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install
		  the patch on the cluster server.

		- run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install
		  the patch on the cluster clients.

	By default swinstall will archive the original software in
	/var/adm/sw/patch/PHCO_14175.  If you do not wish to retain a
	copy of the original software, you can create an empty file
	named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE.

	Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the
	         patch cannot be deinstalled.  Please be careful
		 when using this feature.

	It is recommended that you move the PHCO_14175.text file to
	/var/adm/sw/patch for future reference.

	To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the
	tape drive, use the command:

		dd if=/tmp/PHCO_14175.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
