What are the benefits and gotcha's of converting from ODS-2 to ODS-5 on a
VMS 7.3-1 system with Samba VMS 2.2.4 running. Also, how is it done. The
VMS 7.3-1 upgrade offered to do this for our system drive, but not for our
data drives, so we didn't do it.
Thanks in Advance,
Mike Ober.
What are the benefits of converting from ODS-2 to ODS-5 ?...
First, you must be aware that Samba/VMS 2.2.4 is only supposed to support
ODS-5. Actually, there was no real tests done...
Well, now. How Samba deals with file names ?
There are 2 problems : first the VMS unsupported characters in file
ODS-5 was not supported for systems disk on VMS 7.3. Now with 7.3-1, it is.
The man reason why the installation/upgrade procedure offers you a
convertion is: you cannot do it on a system mounted disk. The disk has to be
private mounted and that is a problem with VMS booted from that disk. All
othe
Would these differences also improve directory access in Samba? Samba 2.2.4
is extremely slow during directory searches on our ODS-2 based systems.
