3.7 Creating NCP and NSS Volumes for Home
Directories
For the exercises in the guide, you need home directories for the users you create.
When you create NCP
directories at the same time as you create the user objects. For that reason, it makes sense to set up
the volumes prior to user object creation.

3.7.1 Home Directories on OES 2

On OES 2, home and other data directories can reside in three possible volume types, each of which
is presented in this guide. The locations are:
Linux POSIX volumes: Your OES 2 lab server already contains a
empty
/home
NCP volumes that point to Linux POSIX volumes: Your OES 2 server has NCP Server
installed so you can create NCP volumes that point to the Linux POSIX* file systems.
Novell Storage Services (NSS) volumes: Your OES 2 server is prepared with EVMS to
support NSS volumes. (NSS is the native file system on NetWare.)
There are important differences between the home directories in each of these locations and in the
configuration steps required to create them and set the needed file/directory trustee assignments, etc.
