Re: Mounting an NFS Share -- DOMINO400

Chris,
        As long as the object ownership auth for the directory mounted is 
correct (qnotes) and the mounted file system is fast (domino thinks this 
is local disk) it will work. 
        The error you are returning is on the file open after creating the 
stub, The fact that the file stub was created suggests the directory 
ownership is right and file system performance is the issue.
 
        Try this as a test. 

        COPY (IFS) an existing db to the mounted drive (remember 
ownership) and try to open that.  If you want better detail on what the 
server is doing during the open add the debug debug_noteopen=5  (requires 
server restart).

This will dump a lot of information to your console but will tell you if 
this is a file system performance issue.

Mounting an NFS Share






We're looking at trying some archiving to a NetApp NAS filer. I can mount 
the share correctly using the following:

MOUNT TYPE(*NFS) MFS('tpfas270:/vol/vol1/FASmail') 
MNTOVRDIR('/LOTUS/DOMINO/hqmail01/FASmail')

As you can see there's a share on the filer called FASmail that I am 
mounting over my FASmail folder in the root of my Mail server's data 
directory. When the manager of the filer calls NetApp for support, they 
tell him that they only know about Domino on Windows (this should be my 
first cause to stop trying....) But we're trying to do this to get some 
quotas/archival in place using our existing hardware. 

Anyway, after mounting it (with default mount parameters), I have tried 
creating a new copy of a small database from Notes. I get the following 
error at my Notes client:

"Unknown OS error: HQMAIL01/COMPORIUM FASmail\database.nsf"

Looking on the filer and in my IFS, I can see that the database is 
created, but that's about as far as it gets. Has anyone else succeeded 
with doing this?

Walter, if this is something you guys could help me with I will be more 
than happy to call support (or feel free to just chime in....)

Thanks all!!
