So far it has been very reliable. However, the same situation between zOS and SUN would sometimes cause problems after IPL's or rebooting of SUN. The same applies for NFS between zOS and W2K servers running FTP. I use both SAMBA and FTP between Linux/z-Series and W2K/W2K3 servers. So far I have not had problems.
