   An update that has two recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:


   This update adds locking to avoid a race which could cause
   high-available  NFS exports to become unavailable when
   multiple cluster services fail over  at the same time due
   to changes made to exportfs done by multiple processes  in
   parallel overwriting each other.

   In addition, it removes a duplicate MOUNTD_PORT variable
   from  sysconfig/nfs.

Contraindications:
