I don't know about Peter's scenario completely, but one big reason to go with NFS is to get files off of local disk. To, for example, to put them on a SAN. There can be various reasons to do this, of course.

What you suggest is exactly right, IF you are ok with leaving these files on local DASD, which might not be an option - 92% disk usage, anyone?

Maybe I am missing something but we not just go into Netserver and create a

If you want i to mount a Windows drive share, enabled Windows Services for
Unix NFS server support.

Otherwise you could enabled the NFS server on i and mount the IFS shares
from Windows.

I would recommend the first option.

subject: NFS mount

I want to load a file in a database on SQL Server 2008 R2 using SQL bulk
insert from a csv file.
So that I can use the IFS on the i5 I would like to mount the SQL server
using the MOUNT command but need some advice as this is new to me.
The MOUNT cmd has the format MOUNT TYPE(*NFS) MFS(?????)
MNTOVRDIR(??????) and I need to know what to specify for MFS and MNTOVRDIR

The host name of the SQL Server box is nzaklgl-db601.corp.bayadv which can
be pinged from the i5 and returns an IP address of 10.9.64.65
If I log on to the SQL Server machine and look at the drives via Windows
Explorer I see the following

Computer
OS(C:)
Data(F:)
Logs(H:)
Work(I:)
Backup(K:)
...
...

I figure that I need a folder in one of these drives to be the target of
the MOUNT.
So what do I specify for MFS and MNTOVRDIR?

Peter
