Setting Up the File System
The procedures in this section of the documentation focus on specific tasks
pertaining to system administration. Procedures involve various utilities and
applications that are provided in the Novell Storage Services Administration
Guide.
The most productive use of file system documentation is to identify the task
you want to complete and find an appropriate procedure. Then use links
associated with the procedure to increase your understanding of other ways in
which applications and utilities can be used.
This chapter focuses primarily on setting up directories, files, drives, and
security. For instructions on creating both NSS and traditional partitions and
volumes, see
Setting Up and Configuring Novell Storage Services
in the
Novell Storage Services Administration Guide. System administrators are
concerned with all of these aspects of the file system. Users will be concerned
with drive mapping and some of the file and directory procedures.
Storing Non-DOS Files on a Traditional Volume
By default, traditional NetWare volumes support DOS naming conventions.
®
To store non-DOS files, such as for Macintosh* or UNIX* on a NetWare
volume, you must load the appropriate name space NetWare Loadable
Module
(NLM
) program and add the name space support to that volume.

NOTE:
Each name space you add to a traditional NetWare volume requires
additional server memory. If you add name space support to a volume and do not
have enough memory, that volume cannot be mounted. If you have insufficient
memory to mount a traditional volume with a long name space, you might want to
convert the volume to an NSS logical volume. Logical volumes accommodate all
name spaces and require less memory to mount than traditional volumes. For
instructions on converting traditional volumes to logical volumes, see
