Extending the IFS using MOUNT

I sent this question to the Domino List, and it was suggested I post here.


Has anyone ever used the MOUNT command to extend there IFS
to an other host system?

What I wanted to do was use Domino directory links to move archives off
the 400 and on to a new Linux PC server. IBM support says this is not
supported on an iSeries. They suggested to mount the Linux folder
specifying a file system type of UDFS.

While I have a clue what they are saying, I have no clue on how to make
it work.  The 400 simply states that it can not find the remote host and
the MOUNT command fails. I googled for a couple of hours, but still, I
have no answers.

The 400 can ping by both IP and host name.
Windows explorer from a PC can open the 
Linux share no problem 
e.g. \\linux-server\sharename       or
\\10.20.10.100\sharename
The Linux box is running Samba and is acting as 
a Windows Domain Controller.
