<h1 class="topictitle1">Variations of servers and clients in the Network File System</h1>
|
|
<div><p>There are three major possibilities for client/server connections
|
|
that can affect how the Network File System (NFS) will function and what its
|
|
characteristics will be.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"> <p>The three possibilities are:</p>
|
|
<ol><li>The user mounts a file system from an iSeries™ server on a client.</li>
|
|
<li>The user mounts a file system from a UNIX<sup>®</sup> server on a client.</li>
|
|
<li>The user mounts a file system on a client from a
|
|
server that is neither an iSeries server nor a UNIX server.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>In the first scenario, the mounted file system will behave on
|
|
the client similarly to how it behaves on the <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span>.
|
|
However, both the characteristics of the Network File System and the file
|
|
system being served need to be taken into account. For example, if you mount
|
|
the QDLS file system from the server to the client, it will have the characteristics
|
|
and limitations of the QDLS file system. For example, in the QDLS file system,
|
|
path name components are limited to 8 characters plus a 3 character extension.
|
|
However, the mounted file system will also have NFS characteristics and limitations.
|
|
For example, you cannot use the CHGAUD command to change the auditing value
|
|
of an NFS object.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>In the second scenario, it is important to realize that any file
|
|
system mounted from a UNIX server will behave most similar to the iSeries server
|
|
QOpenSys file system. </p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>In the third scenario, you will need to review the documentation
|
|
for the file system associated with the server's operating system.</p>
