Re: Mounting an NFS Share






Thanks for the info Watler!

Interesting thing on the ownership. Since I did the crtdir, the owner of 
the local directory is myself. After mounting it, the owner of the remote 
directory is QSECOFR. I cannot change this owner of the mounted directory. 

I get a CPFA0B1      "Requested operation not allowed.  Access problem."

I tried copying (CPY) a database and initially got a CCSID error. After 
changing the TOCCSID to *CALC, the object was created. However, I can't 
change the OWNER paramater to *KEEP, so it has me as the owner. Thought 
about using a SBMJOB to run as QNOTES, but will only do that if 
necessary...

After copying the object, I still get the Unknown OS error when trying to 
open it.

I did a SET CONFIG debug_noteopen=5 to enable this on the fly. However, I 
don't even see any records of my attempt to open the database! When I open 

another "native" db I see a lot of hits. I printed the console and 
searched through it in my spooled files to try finding the attempt to open 

this DB.

When trying to create a new copy of a database from Notes, I only see the 
following references in the spooled file - I see no attempts at opening 
it:

[10306:00378-000001C0] 02/03/2006 09:48:36   Database 
FASmail/servicehistory.nsf created by Chris Whisonant/COMPORIUM

[10306:00378-000001BE] 02/03/2006 09:49:56   Database 
FASmail/servicehistory.nsf deleted by Chris Whisonant/COMPORIUM 

Basically, when we first talked to NetApp about their "partnership" with 
Lotus (http://www.netapp.com/partners/lotus/), they eventually came back 
to us and recommended that we NOT use the filer as a mount with iSeries 
because of the 64 -> 32 -> 64 bit file conversion that would have to be 
done. This would give us about an 8MB/sec throughput rate (HORRIBLE!).

I think we're just seeing that domino is thinking it's way too slow to 
work. From my understanding, though, using the filer with a Windows Domino 

server is extremely fast.... (though probably not as fast as the iSeries 
disk!)  =)
