Well, NFS will transfer only the data you actually use (in blocks read or written by the app), so there should be some advantage. Worst case, the transfer time for a full sequential read of the file is going to be comparable to FTP (and with NFS you have a whole bunch of advantages in terms of programmatic control of the transfer. FTP is a pain to automate; NFS is as easy as opening the file in the app). Another plus is that the z/OS NFS server is doing the actual I/O against the file, so there should be some trace information on the z/OS side to keep the auditors happy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
