In this case I believe IBM i followed the UNIX methods etc, so they should be the same, or very similar, so Patrik, your experience should be valid.

We’ve used NFS extensively at customers and it works really well, but, big but, UNIX uses the UID/GID not the IBM user profile so those need to match up between the systems. The UID and GID can be found with DSPUSRPRF, and scroll down to near bottom. I ‘think’ windows also uses the UID.

Actually in his case the NFS server would be on Windows or Linux and the MOUNT command is used to mount the NFS file shares.

Sorry for my terse answer to Greg.

NFS utilizes the RPC Portmapper for dynamic negotiation of ports. To my knowledge, even for a client, it must run.

NFS I/O is handled via separate processes/jobs/tasks. On older Unices this was handled by "biod".

I admit, I did not actually test if my knowledge from Unix is valid for OS/400 (or IBM i).

:wq! PoC
