Re: Mapping Shared IFS folders to Mac

I'm only interested in the Mac "consuming" the exported folders Rob.

I agree about using the native mount (i.e. native to Mac) but how the beep do you tell it what server to connect to? - the man pages go on forever and (like most Linux docs) use a lot of words to say nothing terribly useful. And of course there is no help ,,,

CHGNFSEXP is the IBM i naming version for EXPORTS, not for MOUNT.
And EXPORTFS is the bastardization of the industry export because of
binder language already using EXPORT.
EXPORT* = serve
MOUNT = consume
For commands that are common to rest of the open systems world (like
mount, ping) I tend to use their naming instead of the IBM i version. For
example I would use MOUNT instead of ADDMFS(which I had to search to find
that name) and I would use PING instead of VFYTCPCMN.
The IBM i version may often make more sense but if you work in multiple
worlds then I stick to the standards.

Have you tried NFS mounts? Aside from bypassing the crap SMB/SBM2 does
to
you it's faster.

On IBM i .

Strnfssvr *all
CHGNFSEXP OPTIONS('-I -O RO') DIR('/whateverdirectory/subdir/etc/etc')

On Unix/MAC:

Mount command.

I'll assume you have authority to the directories and such.

Anyone had any experience with doing this?

I'm getting an error that URLs of type smb: are not supported.

All documentation I can find relates to Windows. I have no trouble
connecting to other servers (and for that matter connection to the i by
other means).

OS is at 7.3.

I know it will be something idiotic but I haven't used a mapped drive for
about 15 years and my ancient brain has forgotten everything I ever knew I
guess.

And yes I have checked that the NetSvr is started.
