system.
• They use a NetWare usinodes file to maintain NetWare information.
• They use an extended names file for the following:
• Names longer than 27 characters
• OS/2* names longer than 100 characters
• Directory paths longer than 92 characters
• They use a NetWare database to maintain trustee assignments and modifications
to Inherited Rights Filters (IRF).
• NFS*-accessible files can be included.
• They support symbolic links, although these links are not recommended.
• Synchronization with the HP 9000 file system is controlled by volume variables.
CD-ROM Volumes
A CD-ROM volume uses a NetWare usinodes file to store NetWare and
client-specific information. These volumes can be created by using SAM on
the server console. You can read files that exist on a CD-ROM volume, but
you cannot write to it.
CD-ROM volumes have the following features:
• The files are set to Read-Only.
• “UNIX File Access Control” mode is also set. Trustees cannot be established in
this mode.
• The NetWare trustee rights are always Read and File Scan. The attributes Delete
Inhibit, Read-Only, and Rename Inhibit are also established.
• You can change to another CD-ROM while the server is running. To do this,
however, you must unmount your CD-ROM. This can be done with umount on
the HP 9000 command line (see “Mounting and Unmounting NetWare
Volumes” in the System Owner Handbook). You can also select “Disks-etc” to
mount the new CD-ROM. When a new CD-ROM is replaced, the information is
also replaced.
