8.3 Understand Windows-to-Linux Migration
Issues
You can use the Server Consolidation Utility to copy data from Windows servers to either NSS or
Linux traditional file system volumes such as Reiser or ext3 on an OES Linux server. The Windows
users and groups are transferred into eDirectory and their permissions are converted to NSS or
Linux equivalents.
If NCP Server for Linux is installed on the server, NCP clients such as the Novell Client for
Windows and the Novell Client for Linux can access the data on the Linux volumes.
8.3.1 Setting Up an NCP Volume on a Linux Traditional File
System
If you want to copy data to a Linux traditional file system such as Reiser or ext3, you must first set it
up as an NCP volume using either the NCPCON utility or Novell Remote Manager.
To do this using NCPCON:
1 Create a mount point on the Linux Reiser or ext3 partition.
2 At the shell prompt, enter
The NCP volume is now displayed in the Project Window when you run the Server Consolidation
Utility.

8.3.2 File/Directory Rights and Attributes Supported on Linux

NCP Server for Linux provides the same trustee rights for both NSS and traditional Linux file
systems. These are the same rights that exist for the NSS file system on NetWare:
• Read
• Write
• Create
• Erase
• Modify
• File Scan
• Access Control
• Supervisor
NCP Server for Linux supports the following NetWare file and directory attributes on both NSS and
traditional Linux file systems on Linux:
• Read Only
• Hidden
