Whith an rpm install, this should not be a problem,
something like

#rpm -Uvh 'newnfsrpm'.rpm

This upgrade your current version you will have to restart your rpm deamons (services) in order for this new version to be activated.

You could do this at an off peak moment just in case ... but I think you should be ok

Hope this helps you

Hi Peterchu,

If you want to uninstall the existing package use the command

# rpm -e nfs-utils-1.0.1-2.80

nfs-utils-1.0.1-2.80 is not the file, is a rpm package.

If you want to upgrade to higher version of NFS Use command

# rpm -Uvh

Where rpmfile.rpm is the package you needs to be own.

Regards,
Rajesh
