Oh yes, I'd say so. One such fellow insisted
that files on a Netware
server were stored "pre-encoded into IPX format" on the server's drives,
which is how it could serve up file data so fast.
Dave, I may be VERY wrong (and most times I am :o)) but I remember a
dedicated novell netware server that stored the files in a different way, to
facilitate access. Now I don't remember if it had something with
interleave/phisical cluster location or something in the way the blocks were
encoded.
I'll try googling that, This is very old info, maybe I'm completely
wrong...
Hum, haven't found much info, beyond the hard disk had a special
formatting for netware access...See here:

Any info on that?
