1.2 Understanding the Novell Client for Linux
Virtual File System
The Novell Client for Linux differs from previous Novell Clients to enable it to work on the Linux
platform. In Windows, the Novell Client loads a single binary that works on multiple operating
system platforms without modifications. The Novell Client on Linux uses a Virtual File System
provided by the base operating system itself which is a kernel module (
) that runs as part
novfs.ko
of the Linux kernel and a daemon (
) that runs in the user space. Both components must be
novfsd
running on the workstation for the client to connect to the network.
