Here’s another problem I encountered ages ago but figured I’d post about in case someone else encounters the same issue. After mounting an NFS filesystem, I had run ‘mount’ and noticed the following
host:/#mount | grep db2inst_1
mount: /db2inst_1 has an unknown gfstype (35)
After seeing this I decided to attempt to unmount the filesystem but I came across the following error:
host:/#umount /db2inst_1
umount: /db2inst_1 has an unknown gfstype (35)
After much grief in searching for a solution on google, I remembered that the definition would reside in /etc/vfs. After adding the following entry into /etc/vfs all was well:
nfsv4 35 /sbin/helpers/nfsmnthelp none remote
Just thought I would post this as it may come in handy to someone else.

Thanks that really helped me. I almost requested a downtime for reboot. :)
