C-ISAM on NFS (protocol)

[Praveen R]

C-ISAM is an Application Which will accelerate the database operation.
Scenario:
C- ISAM Application (Informix software)will be residing on Server Called X and the Data Base will be residing on the Server called Y. The Data base is mounted on NFS mount.
I would like to Know weather C-ISAM Application Will work on NFS (protocol) Mount.

The case here is customer is looking for NAS box which will work on NFS protocol. Their Assumption is that C-ISAM Application may not work with NFS Protocol.

Please send me the document if you have any that C-isam will work on NFS mount. Let me know any of your friends came across this type problem.

Regards
Praveen

Now I might be completely wrong here but my understanding is that C-ISAM is not an application as such but is a method of indexing and retrieving data much like b-tree indexing. It is quite old and was supposed to be more flexible than b-tree.

If this truly is the case then it will not matter one jot if the underlying filesystem is NFS or anything.
