LAN Manager Client Filesystem resources

LAN Manager Client software allows your system to mount and access DOS, NT, and OS/2 filesystems on LAN Manager servers. See Chapter 4, ``Administering and using LAN Manager Client'' in the Guide to Gateways for LAN Servers for more information.

As for NFS, the performance of LMCFS is enhanced if the client system can take advantage of read-aheads and asynchronous writes. The size of the read-ahead buffer (in bytes) is controlled by the value of the rawsize option modifier supplied to mount(ADM). Data that is read-ahead is discarded if it is not used within the time set by the value (in tenths of a second) of the udttl option modifier. Asynchronous writes may be enabled using the async option modifier. This carries an inherent risk of possible data loss should the server crash before the data has been written to disk.
