AW: Is anyone using NFS?

["Werner Noll" <werner.noll@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I made a converse experience, when I upgraded a customer system from V5R2 to
V5R3. NFS was afterwards much faster but this could be also caused by the
hardware upgrade to a i5 box.

Why are you using NFS?  You can map drives from Windows to the iSeries
without NFS.  Also, I notice that 4.13 of Omni-lite is a new version, and
that version 4.12 seems to be a total rewrite; are you sure the problems
aren't in the Omni-lite package?
