Efixes (in my one time only limited experience!) come direct from IBM as a result of a PMR.

Simon,
I would appreciate a heads up on that AFM issue.
I upgraded to 4.2.3.4 this morning, to deal with an AFM issue, which is if a remote NFS mount goes down then an asynchronous operation such as a read can be stopped.

I must admit to being not clued up on how the efixes are distributed. I downloaded the 4.2.3.4 installer for Linux yesterday.
Should I be searching for additional fix packs on top of that (which I am in fact doing now).

John H

Aren't listed as tested

Sorry ...
4.2.3.4 we have used with 7.4 as well, efix2 includes a fix for an AFM issue we have.
