Re: NFS Mount

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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?
