NFS problem on RISC/ultrix

[Peter Kocks]

I have a network of dec3100s running Ultrix 3.0 or 3.1.  Many
partitions on the various machines are NFS'ed togther and work fine,
but one machine is having an unusual problem.

Say the nfs server name is foo and it has a partition named foo1.
There are two other machines name "wanda" and "zulu".  

Wanda can mount foo1 via nfs, but zulu cannot.  On zulu the error
message is "cannot mount foo:/foo1 on foo1.  Mount device busy."  


On our network there are 12 of dec 3100 of which about half have the
same problem as zulu.  The others all work fine.

Any hints?
