[magick-users] Help! I don't understand delegates. ImageMagick failure on AIX (100% make test errors)

[Rich Cook]

Does this help?  It's a snippet from /etc/filesystems:

/usr/global:
         dev             = /vol/redacted/global
         vfs             = nfs
         nodename        = redacted.llnl.gov
         mount           = false
         options         =  
fg,hard,intr,nosuid,proto=tcp,vers=3,rsize=8192,wsize

I don't see anything about DFS or GSA?
