NetWare SMP File System for Linux, Windows, and DOS

• Building with Manual Make Files

# ./build <option>

from the directory where you install the NWFS sources. This newer model auto detects modversioning, smp, etc. There is an assumption made that a symbolic link to /usr/src/linux ->

newer Red Hat kernels no longer use this syntax. For the NWFS build to work properly, you will need to have a pre-configured Linux source tree present with a symbolic link to the /usr/src/linux directory.

Simply type ./build for a list of build options.

The globals.h file contains the following table of options:

#define  WINDOWS_NT_RO    0
#define  WINDOWS_NT       0
#define  WINDOWS_NT_UTIL  0
#define  WINDOWS_CONVERT  0
#define  WINDOWS_98_UTIL  0
#define  LINUX_20         0
#define  LINUX_22         1
#define  LINUX_24         0
#define  LINUX_UTIL       0
#define  DOS_UTIL         0

select build environment (you can only select one at a time).

There are makefiles included for different kernel configurations. To make the NWFS driver for Linux, select one of the following. The makefiles support modversioned kernels and naked kernels.

#define  LINUX_20         0
#define  LINUX_22         1
#define  LINUX_24         0

• make -f nwfs.mak This will make an NWFS driver SMP-no MODVER-no
• make -f nwfsmod.mak This will make an NWFS driver SMP-no MODVER-yes
• make -f nwfssmp.mak This will make an NWFS driver SMP-yes MODVER-no
• make -f nwmodsmp.mak This will make an NWFS driver SMP-yes MODVER-yes

The Linux versions are supported under the GCC Linux compiler To make the Linux tools:

#define  LINUX_UTIL       1

make -f util.mak

The DOS versions are supported under the DJ Delorie GCC MS-DOS compiler. To make the MS-DOS tools:

#define  DOS_UTIL       1

make -f dos.mak

The Windows NT/2000 versions are supported under Microsoft C++ 5.0 or higher To make the WIndows NT/2000 tools:

#define  WINDOWS_NT_UTIL       1

nmake /f utilms.mak

To install the Windows NT/2000 version, copy the NWFSRO.SYS driver to the %SYSTEM_ROOT%\System32\drivers directory (WINNT is the name of the %SYSTEM_ROOT% on most systems) and run regini.exe (which comes with the Windows NT/2000 DDK) to add the registry entries to your system that will allow the driver to load at the next reboot.

Command syntax for regini.exe is:

C:\>regini nwfsro.ini <enter>

To query available volumes on this machine that can be mounted, invoke NWVOL.EXE by typing:

C:\>NWVOL

NWVOL will list all volumes detected on this server.

NetWare Volume(s)
[SYS            ] sz-00003751 blk-65536  F/D-0000/0001  (OK)

  segment #1 Start-00001BA9 size-00001BA8

To mount a NetWare volume, type:

C:\>nwmount *

This will mount all NetWare volumes on an NT/2000 server as Native Windows NT File Systems. You can also mount a specific volume by typing "nwmount VOLUME_NAME".

Simply type NWMOUNT.EXE or NWDISMNT.EXE with no arguments and these programs will display additional help information.

You should copy the utilities into the /WINNT/System32 directory. If you want to change any volume configurations, you should only do so with the driver unloaded and all volumes dismounted. See NWCONFIG.EXE for very complete help on how to manage NetWare volumes.

To install the Linux version of NWFS 2.0, copy the NWFS.O driver to the \lib\modules\misc directory. Load the driver by typing:

[root@localhost]#
[root@localhost]# insmod nwfs
[root@localhost]#

To query available volumes on this machine that can be mounted, invoke NWVOL by typing:

[root@localhost]# NWVOL

NWVOL will list all volumes detected on this server.

To mount a NetWare Volume named "SYS" to a pre-exisitng mount point (directory) called /SYS, type:

[root@localhost]#
[root@localhost]# mount sys /SYS -t nwfs -o SYS
[root@localhost]#

To dismount, type:

[root@localhost]#
[root@localhost]# umount /SYS -t
[root@localhost]#

You should copy the utilities into the /usr/bin directory. If you want to change any volume configurations, you should only do so with the driver unloaded and all volumes dismounted. See NWCONFIG for very complete help on how to manage NetWare volumes.

You should copy the utilities into the /DOS directory on your machine. See NWCONFIG.EXE for very complete help on how to manage NetWare volumes from DOS.
