Patrik,
You've heard correctly, the IFS is not nearly as fast as other stream file systems like Linux or Windows for serving up shares etc. That's primarily due to architectural issues, everything is an object, more better security, etc.. That does not mean that its usefulness is diminished in any way, it just means it's more like a truck that a sports car. Very useful when you need the truck, but not as fast as the sports car.
As to why Rob does not move that data, a significant portion of it is Domino database, which would be nearly impossible to move, plus archive data. As Rob said, if they users want it, they pay dearly for it in slow performance and such. Not worth the agony and money to move it......

Hello Rob,

This is that same system where the PWRDWNSYS takes forever and I had a thread on that some time ago.
I dimly remember.
Yes, it's pretty much all IFS. Domino data and PC data from former employees.
If my memory serves me right, then there was some kind of agreement that IBM i isn't exactly a good platform for IFS stuff. Excuse my heretic question, but: Maybe it would be an Idea to move that data (which is at least partly from PCs anyway) to a platform with a well-known better behavior with that kind of files? Which reasons are there to keep these on an IBM i system?
Probably positive side-effect is that you might have that responsibility shifted away from you and thus have more time for other tasks?
Just saying…
:wq! PoC
