Welcome to IWETHEY!

New That is due to CIFS vs SMB.
The iSeries will indeed mount a Samba share... as long as the Samba server does CIFS.

Many default Samba setups (d|w)on't do CIFS as it takes a bit of making to get it work properly and a 2.6+ Linux kernel.

There are other reasons, but those aren't important to your setup, unless you have other Microsoft products forcing certain protocols. (and/or Admins who blindly follow Microsoft's way to admin Windows Machines)

New I'm sure it will.
I wasn't clear. IBM does not officially support it. But, what the hell? IBM does not officially support running Webfacing apps on anything but Websphere and we've had an uptime of > 500 days on the linux/tomcat host we're using instead of Websphere. ;0)

     NFS or SMB? - (mmoffitt) - (12)
         Interesting - I've never tried it... - (imric) - (6)
             What? - (mmoffitt)
             Do *NOT* use SMB. Use NFS. - (mmoffitt) - (4)
                 Lemme ask... - (folkert) - (3)
                     if you put a linux partition on iSeries - (boxley) - (1)
                         Not what I was asking. And you know that. - (folkert)
                     I did try CIFS. - (mmoffitt)
         I would think it comes down to the server implementation. - (static) - (4)
             No, no, you're doing fine. ;0) - (mmoffitt) - (3)
                 That is due to CIFS vs SMB. - (folkert) - (1)
                     I'm sure it will. - (mmoffitt)
                 Ah... that I don't know. - (static)

Bestowing a cruddy-green patina to this over-polished line of deductive reasoning.
