Answer

        Description:

        The customer reports that this mount fails:
        READY
        MOUNT FILESYSTEM(NFSMOUNT2) TYPE(NFS) MOUNTPOINT('/mnt2')
        PARM('z0eip:/HFS/mmf2')
        and receives:
        RETURN CODE 00000079, REASON CODE 055B005C.
        THE MOUNT FAILED FOR FILE SYSTEM NFSMOUNT2.
        READY

        Resolution:

        Diagnosis:
        1. Trace does not show any vfs_mount coming to NFS Client. retcode=79 (EINVAL) rsncode=055B005C
        2. This reason code (rsncode) was not issued by NFS Client (Otherwise you would see 6Exxyyyy) Look in SC28-1908-01 OS/390: OpenEdition Messages and Codes for 005C (First 2 bytes of OMVS reason code: 0000 - 20FF). 005C - JRMountPt - since retcode=EINVAL, the pathname specified refers to the root of an already mounted file system.
        3. Looking at the user's mount command: MOUNT FILESYSTEM(NFSMOUNT2) TYPE(NFS) MOUNTPOINT('/mnt2') <-- this mount point is already occupied PARM('z0eip:/HFS/mmf2')
