1) I have installed Hummingbird Communication's NFS client (called NFS Maestro) on both Windows NT and Windows 95 (ver 5.1). After mounting the /afs filesystem exported from an AIX box running the AFS to NFS tranlator, I experience the following problems: - If a directory is in the root of an AFS volume, a dir listing takes a minimum of 90 seconds to complete. - Reads on files in these directories seem to hang indefinitely. - Haven't tried writes in these directories. It seems any operation involving the root of a volume takes a really long time, or doesn't complete at all. On the other hand, I have been able to do pretty much anything in directories that are at least 1 directory below the root of a volume. Of course there are exceptions: a dir on a large directory that was one directory below a volume mount point just hung. So, has anybody experienced this before? AND/OR can you recommend a NFS client for Windows NT and/or 95 which you have seen seemlessly mount and use the export(s) from an AFS to NFS translator machine. 2) I would like to be able to mount /afs/btv or /afs/btv.ibm.com, where btv.ibm.com is my local cell. By the NFS standard, I should be able to mount any directory underneath the exported directory, as long as they are on the same file-system..... [uh, err, I think answered my own question: practically every directory in /afs is a mount point to the root of the various cells, so exporting /afs doesn't export these volumes/filesystems as well. If the AFS to NFS server explicitly exports /afs/btv.ibm.com, then I should be able to do what I want, right?] This means Windows File Manager or Explorer won't choke on the root of the particular "afs" drive, since the root of cells aren't usually as nebulous as /afs. Thanks in advance for your help.
