Hi,

we have the same problem with restore of large Netware volumes (400'000
files).
IBM gave the following answer:

As mentioned previously on this thread, you should see some
improvements when you get the changes made for APAR PQ05614.
This was a server change and will arrive in Version 2, PTF 18, and
Version 3 PTF 1.

I wonder when this PTF will arrive and what is its name?

Regards,
