Hi Specialists!
I have a 32bit Java application reading and writing files to NFS share
mounted on Windows 2008R2 server 64bit. The filesystem behind NFS share is
of course XFS, created with default mkfs.xfs and mounted with inode64
option.
I don't have access to app source code.
Is there a quick and fast way to check if the app can be safely used with
inode64? Can I somehow force the files to be created with 64bit inodes
number, so the app can read then?
BR
Marcin

That won't help - who knows how windows API calls translate to
NFS operations.

On the NFS server, create a multi-TB filesystem (>16TB to be sure), make a few hundred
sub directories in the root, add a bunch of short files of known
contents to each sub directory. Export.
Mont it on the client, then check you can list and read all the
files from the client, then have the client copy it all to a new set
of subdirs, then verify the copy on both client and server. IF that
all works, then there's nothing obviously wrong with client side NFS
support handling inodes numbers larger than 32 bit.
Now do the same thing with your java application, and see if it has
problems listing and/or reading all the files...
Cheers,
Dave.
