Major performance issues with Windows 7, Office 7 & accessing documents on IBM Netserver (IFS)
FINALLY!
The solution for me was to STOP sharing the "root" folder. IBM strongly recommends this
never be shared. When this is shared via NetServer, during the Windows pre-fetch ALL file systems are queried.. This includes non-PC files systems - QSYS.LIB, QNTC, even your optical drives.
By simply sharing a directory (or most of them) within the system root instead of the root itself, our performace has increased substantially.
