The Linux POSIX /home Directory
For the exercises in this guide, you create POSIX home directories for two users. This lets you easily
see the differences between directories created through POSIX and directories created through NCP.
Both directory types exist on the same physical disk space and are displayed as POSIX home
directories, but only the NCP directories appear in NCP interfaces.
Creating an NCP Volume on the OES 2 Server
OES 2 lets you create NCP volumes that point to directories on the Linux POSIX partitions of your
server. For the exercises in this guide, you create an NCP volume that points to the
on your server. NCP volumes support the Novell File and Directory Trustee Rights model when files
are accessed through an NCP client.
NCP volumes on Linux POSIX file systems differ from NSS volumes; NCP volumes do not support
NSS file attributes, such as Delete Inhibit. For more information, see
in the OES 2 SP1: NCP Server for Linux Administration

2 Create an NCP volume in NCPCON that points to the /home directory by entering the
following commands:
ncpcon create volume home_ncp /home
exit
Creating an NSS Pool and Volume on the OES 2 Server
OES 2 supports NSS volumes. NSS is a fast-mounting, journaled file system for OES 2 and
NetWare. It is the only file system in the industry that is integrated with identity management. NSS
volumes support the Novell File and Directory Trustee Rights model and also NSS file attributes.

Planning and Implementation
NSS volumes can span partitions and even hard disks. For a graphical overview of NSS volumes,
see Section A.1, "NSS Partitions, Pools, and Volumes," on page
