A fix is available
APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Access checks for a mount point could fail if hostname resolution did not work due to network issues. The negative response from accessd is cached and causes further attempts to access the mount point from the NFS client to fail with EACCES (Permission denied).
Local fix
Unexport and reexport the filesystems on the NFS server to purge the access cache: # exportfs -ua # exportfs -a
Problem summary
NFS client may get EACCESS if access checks for mount point had earlier failed due to network issues.
Problem conclusion
Made code changes so that the failure is not cached, and the access check is retried.
Temporary fix
