- Thanks to Charles R. Oldham who pointed me to the right direction
- regarding mounting an OS/2-file-system from a Unix-machine.
-
- The trick is to specify "rsize=4096" on the Unix-side as OS/2-NFSD
- presently has a limit of 4096 bytes (I was not aware of it and I
- did not find that in the manuals). Now at least I can mount the
- OS/2-drives from a Unix-machine such that a tar on the Unix-side is
- possible.
-
- Still, I am dreadful missing an EA-aware tar in IBM's TCP/IP-package
- as one finds in the FTP-package (at least for the DOS-version). I would
- expect it to be much faster than the present awkward solution (one has
- to run EABACKUP and SHOWINI first, then backup; in case of a restore one
- needs to run EARESTORE and SHOWINI) - writing to an OS/2-HPFS-filesystem
- from the Unix side seems to be extremely slow.
