I'm guessing the real issue there was lack of arms for performance. Since then ASYNCBRING has been added for back up as well.

This discussion jogged my memory this morning.

Several years back I recall we had a customer designate a couple of drives in an ASP just for documents storage.

In this scenario since it was ASP 2 we created a UDFS to manage the files.

I seem to recall they still had performance issues with IFS backups, but now I'm trying to remember if they were unmounting and backing up the UDFS or trying to back the original objects.

In their case they moved storage ultimately to using a SAN, but this could re-kindle the usage of UDFS for storing documents.

I'm wondering if that ownership holds up when a UDFS is UNMOUNTed. Have to try it tomorrow. Good plan creating a dummy user and using WRKOBJOWN.

Hi, Dan:

On WRKLNK, you can type an "8" next to a file or directory to see its attributes (including the owner).

I created a "test" user ID (CRTUSRPRF TEST) then I created a directory named "test" in QOpenSys, and changed its owner to TEST with CHGOWN.
Then I copied a stream file into that directory and changed its owner to TEST. Then I issued WRKOBJOWN TEST and there they were.
