Volume
The highest point in a NetWare file system. Volumes contain directories,
subdirectories, and files. In NetWare Services, each NetWare volume is a
path to a point in the HP-UX file system. These paths are specified in the
voltab file. The specified point in the HP-UX file system is the NetWare
volume root node—the point at which the NetWare volume begins. See
“Directory structure, file system.”
A volume is a logical unit. It behaves much as a hard disk behaves in a
stand-alone system. NetWare users cannot see the HP-UX directory
structure above the NetWare volume level. To HP-UX users, NetWare
volumes appear as HP-UX subdirectories.
NetWare supports a maximum of 64 volumes.
Volume Names
The first NetWare volume must be named SYS:. Other volumes may be
given the same name as the UNIX directory or may be given different
names. Volume names are 2 to 15 characters long. NetWare convention adds
the server name in front of the volume name (SERVER/SYS:). The volume
name is followed by a colon (:), as in SERVER/SYS:PUBLIC.
