A UDFS supports user ASPs, the IFS does not. This is why we are now starting to use UDFS for our image storage. I recently tried saving /dev/QASP03/ESS800.UDFS using a BRMS backup list and it saved as individual objects (and took the same amount of time as the same of /ESSDIR, where the UDFS is mounted.) I'm not sure why yet as I was expecting it to be saved as one object. When I find out the answer I will let you know. We are currently at about 325,000 objects, but expect to end up with 10-12 million by the time we're through.

Why would I want to use a UDFS as opposed to putting PC files directly into IFS directories ? Does it speed up file backup by putting PC files into a simulated disk ASP and then treating the UDFS object as a single object just like the Integrated PC Server (FSIOP/IPCS/IXS or whatever it's called today) would. It's a nice concept, but I need some confirmation on what the advantages are. The iSeries documentation on the UDFS and where it's best used are very sketchy. >From my initial testing it seems more cumbersome because you have to create the UDFS and make sure it's mounted before use. Any input would be appreciated. Regards, Richard Schoen RJS Software Systems Inc.
