And thank you. I have a rudimentary understanding of how both SMB and NFS work. I was really asking about the OS400 implementation of NFS and how well it plays with others. SMB support is relatively new (V5R1 IIRC), but it appears to work okay with the limitation that for the AS400 to "mount" an SMB share, that share has to be on a true Windows server (iow, there is no support for an iSeries to "mount" an SMB share that is really samba on Linux). In my case, I'm mounting an SMB share on the iSeries from a Linux box.

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)

New Ah... that I don't know.
It's been a long time since I was last using an AS/400. :-)

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

                         Not what I was asking. And you know that. - (folkert) - June 25, 2007, 08:31:09 PM EDT
                     I did try CIFS. - (mmoffitt) - June 27, 2007, 04:28:12 PM EDT
         I would think it comes down to the server implementation. - (static) - (4) - June 19, 2007, 09:24:44 PM EDT
