The AIX 4.1 client will almost work on AIX 4.2 The problem will be
that it will take a while, from a couple of seconds to a minute, for
a directory to "appear". That is, ls or pathname lookups will show
empty directorues for that periood of time.
This is caused by the change in the JFS inode to support 64 bit
filesystems.
