the remote partition.
• As NetWare users access directories below bob, directory statistics will reflect
the statistics for Disk 3.
Volume Configuration Parameters
NetWare volumes use some variables in SAM that are global to the server—
for example, the maximum number of volumes. The NetWare configuration
files also support variables that are generic to all volume types, as well as
variables that are specific to a particular volume type.
The following variables apply to all volume types:
• Number specifies a number from 0 to 63. Volume SYS: is always 0. The nwvm
library assigns the first available number.
• Name specifies the name that NetWare clients use to access the volume. The first
volume must be named SYS:. System administrators must supply a name for all
other volumes which may be the same as or different from the HP-UX directory
name.
Names must be from 2 to 15 characters long; NetWare 4 conventions prepend
the server name to the volume name.
• Type specifies whether the volume is a Standard or CD-ROM volume.
• Mount point specifies the path, from root, to the directory where the volume
begins.
• Control path specifies the location of the volume’s trustee database files. For
Standard, the control path specifies the location of the volume’s usinodes file, the
extended names file, and the last mount log.
• Name spaces specifies the client types the volume will support. System
administrators configure each volume for additional name spaces (OS/2). DOS
and UNIX name spaces are always supported.
• Option strings contain read-only file systems, maximum open files, file access
control, and volume options.
