Re: DSKIFS job takes a long time on occasion.

Is there an attribute on a directory which says that it is an NFS mount? I'd rather not rely upon some naming convention or other such standard to determine this.

I searched for that a bit, because in Linux I'd parse the output from the "mount -t nfs" command to see where NFS filesystems start in the hierarchy. Unfortunately, there's no "mount" in PASE and also no /etc/mtab. So no avail this way.

Perhaps there are IFS APIs to look at, to see which filesystem is mounted where. A quick search revealed nothing helpful so far, but I really did only a quick search. Even in GO CMDMFS, there's no "work with".

Also, a call to the C "stat" function is supposed to give you an ID of the device containing file. No idea where to go from here, though. (To map this ID back to something helpful for determining if that "device" resembles an NFS mount.)

Maybe this gets you a few starting points to dig deeper into.

A job which used to run in just a few minutes now takes 18 hours.

NFS was never quick in OS/400 and it's successors. ;-)

If you can describe what the job does and in wich environment it runs, maybe there will raise further ideas how to solve this problem.
