Managing the NetWare Services File System
Setting Up Files
Basic. The Basic category shows the most commonly changed HP-UX file
configuration variables.
Maximum Number of Open Files. This variable specifies the maximum
number of simultaneous open files allowed on a server.
File Default umask. This variable specifies the host umask used to reduce
host permissions on files created by NetWare users. The supported values are
octal 0000 to 0777. The default is 0002 which assigns rwx permissions to the
owner of the file.
Enable Host Locking? This variable specifies whether the NetWare byte
range locks are mirrored on the HP-UX file system. “Yes” means any
NetWare byte range lock is reflected as a HP-UX byte range lock on the entire
file. “No” means the NetWare byte range lock is not reflected as a HP-UX
byte range on the entire file. The default is No.
Advanced. The Advanced category shows and allows you to change the less
commonly used file configuration variables.
Threshold for Purging Deleted File Entries. This variable specifies the
number of deleted file entries that must exist in a directory if it is purged. By
default, the value of the nwcm utility’s npfs_directory_purge_threshold is
used. The value can be overridden on a volume-to-volume basis using the
voltab file. Smaller values cause deleted files to be purged more often. Larger
values cause deleted files to be purged when the usinodes file is full. The
default is 32.
Minimum Wait between Directory Synchronizations. This variable specifies
the minimum number of seconds that will elapse between directory
synchronization operations. By default, the
npfs_directory_min_sync_interval is used. The value can be overridden on a
volume-to-volume basis using the voltab file. The default is 10.
Maximum Wait between Directory Synchronizations. This variable specifies
the maximum number of seconds that will elapse between directory
synchronization operations. By default, the nwcm utility’s
npfs_directory_mandatory_sync_interval is used. The value can be
overridden on a volume-to-volume basis using the voltab file. If the
“Minimum Wait between Directory Synchronizations” variable is set higher
than this value, “Minimum Wait between Directory Synchronizations” value
is ignored. The default is 900.
