Standard volumes

A Standard volume uses a control directory that contains a NetWare usinodes file to store NetWare and client-specific information. It also contains a per-volume database to store NetWare trustee assignments. The UnixWare file system stores the actual data files.

The Standard file system must synchronize information in the NetWare usinodes file with that in the UnixWare filesystem. Changes made by UnixWare users are reflected in the usinodes file by synchronization operations.

Standard volumes have the following features:

• They exist on any filesystem type in the UnixWare file system except S5.

• The volume mount point specified by a path into the UnixWare file system.

• They use a NetWare usinodes file to maintain NetWare information.

• They use an extended names file for the following:

• UnixWare names longer than 27 characters

• OS/2 names longer than 100 characters

• Directory paths longer than 92 characters

• They use a NetWare database to maintain trustee assignments and modifications to Inherited Rights Filters (IRF).

• NFS-accessible files can be included.

• They support symbolic links, although these links are not recommended.

• Synchronization with the UnixWare file system is controlled by volume variables.
