Managing NetWare Volumes
This section describes volumes in the NetWare® 4.1/9000 environment and
how NetWare imposes the concept of volumes on NetWare® HP 9000
server. It also describes how to set up and manage NetWare volumes within
the NDS tree.
NetWare® 4.1/9000 supports multiple filesystem types (FSTypes such as
vxfs, ufs, s5, and so on). NetWare Services provides these interface types:
• Standard allows NetWare volumes to be configured on top of virtually any
NetWare® 4.1/9000 file system that supports long filenames.
• CD-ROM allows CD-ROMs to be accessed as NetWare volumes.
• NFS-mounted volumes allow NFS filesystems to be mounted as NetWare
volumes.
Common characteristics of implementations described in this section.
The primary tools you use in NetWare Services for filesystem management
are located in the SAM utility accessible from the server console.
Standard Volumes
A Standard volume uses a control directory that contains a NetWare
usinodes file to store NetWare and client-specific information. It also
contains a per-volume database to store NetWare trustee assignments. The
NetWare® 4.1/9000 file system stores the actual data files.
The Standard file system must synchronize information in the NetWare
usinodes file with that in the NetWare® 4.1/9000 filesystem. Changes made
by HP 9000 users are reflected in the usinodes file by synchronization
operations.
Standard volumes have the following features:
• The volume mount point specified by a path into the NetWare® 4.1/9000file
