Use REBUILD to recover corrupted Novell
volumes. The REBUILD utility salvages the data it finds on your corrupted
NSS volume and recovers it.
®
NetWare users may be used to using VREPAIR to repair and rebuild
NetWare volumes. VREPAIR still works for traditional NetWare volumes, but
it does not work on NSS volumes. For NSS, you must use REBUILD.
Rebuild verifies and uses the existing leaves of an object tree to rebuild all the
other trees in the system. The NSS volumes that are verified and rebuilt are
placed in maintenance mode. This means the NSS volumes are unusable until
this process is finished, and the volume is remounted.
After running REBUILD, you must run the VERIFY utility. VERIFY
accounts for all blocks in the system. If errors are found, they are reported to
the screen, and the NSS volume is left in maintenance mode. Run REBUILD
again until no errors are found. If errors are not found, the volume is placed
back in the active state. You may have to mount the volume.
NOTE:
This utility only protects against system failures, not hardware failures.
Use REBUILD either in the NSS Administration utility or at the command
line.
NOTE:
Always back up your data. If an NSS volume exists on several hard disks
and one of the hard disks becomes corrupted, you must create a new NSS volume
or restore your old NSS volume from backup.
