RE: Mounting NFS file share

["Wilt, Charles" <CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No.

NFS has nothing to do with NetSever/NetClient(QNTC)

I5/OS supports 3 client/server file systems:

#1) Windows compatible SMB
----Server: i5 Netserver
----Client: i5 NetClient (the /QNTC file system)

#2) UNIX/LINIX compatible NFS
----Server: NFS Server
----Client: NFS Client

#3) i5/OS 
----Server: built into OS (does it have a name????)
----Client: built into OS (the /QFileSvr.400 file system)

HTH,

Charles Wilt
