Re: [opensuse] Re: Mounting a Novell Netware NWFS filesystem
Catherine, Is there an easy way for me to determine if these are NSS volumes or traditional volumes? I suspect traditional since my notes say the computer had been running Netware 3.12. But I don't know when NSS became common. Also, I don't currently have SLES nor OES, but this may give me enough reason to upgrade. Thanks Greg On 11/27/06, Catherine Craft <ccraft@novell.com> wrote:
If you are using Linux for Open Enterprise Server, NSS volumes are supported, but NetWare traditional volumes are not. NSS requires Open Enterprise Server; you cannot set up NSS volumes on straight SUSE Linux Enterprise Server only.
For OES Linux:
1) Make sure that the NSS services are loaded and running. In YaST, click System > Runlevel Editor > Expert Mode. The NSS module should be enabled. If they are not there, you need to go to the Software Install and install them, then enable them. Any changes you make do not take effect until you reboot the server. 2) If NSS services are running, the devices should mount automatically on reboot. 3) Use the Storage role in iManager or use NSSMU to mount and manage the volume.

All,
I have a couple of old Netware drives I need to take a quick look at. Just need to see how old the files etc. are on the drives so a read-only mount is fine.
I've been told it is supposed to work, but looking at "man mount" I don't see a way to specify the NWFS filesystem. Is there a standard way to do this.

NSS was introduced with Novell Netware 5, so it has to be a traditional volume. Sandy -- List replies only please!

HI Greg If the original volumes were created under NW 3.12, they're most definitely traditional volumes. I've used SLED 10 with the Novell client in the past with good success, but have yet to test opensuse 10.1/2 with it. Maybe it's worth a look - very reliable and it's from the same company that produced the volume format... http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=2RE4wvXCwqQ~ HTH Cheers Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
