Does NFS on OS/2 support large files?

I just recently installed Windows Vista on one of my client machines and 
it doesn't like LAN Manager at all, I have trouble transfering files (see 
my other topic).  Basically, I'm considering switching OS/2 to be an NFS 
file server considering Vista has an NFS client built in, but I have a few 
questions.  Specifically, how good is OS/2's NFS server 
performance/feature wise, and also, does it support large files (>2GB).  
If it does, that would be really great.

Help appreciated,

Also, I thought I'd add, it's going to be a real pain to reinstall my 
entire ecomstation setup just to add NFS support!  I'm told it's possible 
to transfer NFS support from one machine to another if you have access to 
a machine that has NFS installed...  If anyone would be so kind as to 
bundle up the NFS daemon stuff with instructions on how exactly this 
transfer works, and email it to me, I'd be most appreciative!  It would 
save me a lot of time and energy.

Thanks again,

PS:  The email I have listed here works, and can handle large files.

I may be wrong but think that NFS gets installed with tcpip...

Open the tcpip configuration notebook, Security tab, Add a user if 
necessary and then configure NFS for that user.

Then change to the NFS tab and make whatever changes.

If it all works after a reboot then I would guess that NFS is installed 
with tcpip :-)

Have fun

No, it doesn't appear to have the daemon available in the autostart 
options for me, so I can only assume it was not installed.  Never mind on 
that latter request however, it appears eCSMT can selectively install NFS 
support just fine.

Now I'm just curious about the other questions, in particular the large 
file support.

I've got it working and windows can see my ecs NFS shares, but performance 
is god-awful.  It takes like a minute to switch directories, and file 
transfers are nearly impossible.  This is on a gigabit lan using vista's 
native client, and also XP's official microsoft client.  Anyone have any 
idea what I can do to improve performance?  I'd be very greatful if there 
were some easy solution...

Thanks in advance,
