File Systems, NetWare Services
NetWare Services supports the Standard file system. The Standard file
system is portable to any HP-UX system and to non-HP-UX systems such as
VMS.
For each volume, the Standard file system uses an inodes file to store
NetWare and client specific information, a database to store NetWare trustee
assignments, and a HP-UX file system to store actual data files and file forks.
The inodes file uses the same basic format as the NetWare 4 directory entry
file.
The Standard file system must synchronize the information in the inodes
files with HP-UX file system and duplicate some functions of the HP-UX
file system. The level of synchronization is controlled by the
npfs_min_sync_interval parameter.
The Standard file system provides the following:
• Support by most types of HP-UX partitions and portability to non-HP-UX
systems.
• Tight integration between NetWare rights and HP-UX permissions. The network
supervisor can set up NetWare security, which NPFS enforces unless overridden
by the file_access_control parameter.
• NetWare attribute enforcement. NetWare directory and file attributes are stored
and enforced by the Standard file system. They can be set using NetWare utilities.
• Name space mapping. Every file and directory has both a DOS and a HP-UX
