RE: Mapping Shared IFS folders to Mac

Microsoft did not even follow its own standards for SMB2 so when IBM built
their side, and followed the specifications, there was a massive amount of
network traffic generated. Later Microsoft fixed their side, and IBM put
out a PTF to tamp down on the network traffic so SMB2 will work if all the
latest MS stuff and V7R3 PTFs are on.

The extra network traffic caused Netserver to just quit instead of keep up
with it all.

Yes, SMB2 is the default for 7.3, but many people disable it.

FWIW, I have the faintest recollection of getting errors trying to connect
to the root of the NetServer (smb://net_server/) and it only working for a
specific dir (smb://net_server/dir/). That probably dates back to 7.1 or
even v5r4.

According to the IBM docs Justin, at 7.3 I'm running SMB2 by default. Not
sure how to tell for sure but this doc
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1021710
<http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1021710> spends a lot of
time telling you how to disable SMB2.

I haven't done Mac in many years, but i do Linux regularly. On Linux, it

won't connect by default if the server is not running SMB2.
