RE: Large volume file move

I know that Richard is coming off as highly sarcastic but I too have to
wonder why the big push to move this stuff to IBM i. We've done file
serving from IBM i. Normally Windows beats IBM i in file serving hands
down. Even on older hardware you could be using the same drives and all
but stick in an IPCS card in there and load Windows on it and it would
smoke file serving from the predecessors of IBM i.
IBM i has touted newer versions have caught up some but they still have a
way to go.
General policy here is that IBM i is not to be used as a file server
unless there's a really compelling reason to do so, such as CPYTOIMPF type
stuff.
