NFS woes

I have an RS/6000 Model 320 running "Golden" code. I tried to nfs mount
a filesystem from a Gould/Encore 9000 running UTX/32 2.0 (BSD 4.3 derivative).
The system seemed to mount ok but I was getting error messages on the
console of my 320: clnttcp_create: not found
rpc.statd: cannot talk to statd at remote_host_name
Performance on the 320 was also degraded severely.
I tried to unmount the remote filesystem, but the filesystem was busy
and I couldn't kill the processes using it. I rebooted the 320 then
tried to "Stop using the mounted file system". SMIT could not find it.
I also looked in /etc/fstab. No entries for the remote machine were
there either, but I was still getting the error messages. I tried
stopping NFS. This "failed" with "Subsystem inactive... time out;"
although, the messages did stop. When I restarted the NFS daemons the
messages and slow response returned.
Now with the Gould down, I still get nfs error messages. How do I get
smit to recognize that I no longer want to nfs mount the remote filesystem?
Where is it keeping the information on the remote machine? It's not
in /etc/fstab, and I grepped through all the rc files I could find with
no success.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
