unknown nfs status return value: -1

This error message might appear while mounting NFS share exported from AIX box.
That means an importer doesn't have a record in DNS database.

To solve just add an entry about the importer into /etc/hosts file.

I had this problem on a Suse box. I added it to /etc/hosts, and it works.

I have about 20 RedHat (EL3, 4, &5) boxes, and the mount works fine *without* having to add them to /etc/hosts. Any explanation?
