nwvm(1Mnws)

Synopsis

nwvm [-q] -A volname -p path -c path [-s ns -o option]

nwvm [-q] -M volname [-p path -c path -s ns -o option]

Description

If nwvm is used without options, it displays information about all volumes. To obtain information about a particular volume, run nwvm specifying the volume's name.

Options

-q

Prevents nwvm-generated messages from printing to the console.

volname

Specifies the volume to be modified or created. Volume names must be unique, and contain between two and 15 characters.

-D

Deletes the specified volume be deleting the entry in the voltab file. This option does not delete the volume's control directory, nor does it delete any of the volume's resource forks or data files.

-O

Optimizes the NetWare inodes file for the specified volume. After many files have been added and deleted from a NetWare volume, the inodes file becomes fragmented. This option reduces the fragmentation, and in most cases, speeds up access to the files in that volume.

-R

Repairs the NetWare inodes file for the specified volume. The validation process checks all resource and data fork links:

• if the data fork is found but its corresponding resource fork is missing, the repair option clears the resource flag bit

• if the resource fork is found but its corresponding data fork is missing, the repair option removes the resource fork entry from the inodes file

Both conditions are logged. If you restore the missing files and then repair the volume a second time, the repair option will relink the files.

-A

Creates a volume with the specified parameters. Requires a name, a control path and a mount point.

-M

Modifies the volume information for the item specified. If either the control path (-c) or the mount point (-p) are modified, the information is changed only in the voltab file. nwvm does not move the files in the old directories into the new directories. You must manually move the files to the new locations. If the files in the control directory are not moved to the new location, new control files will be created.

-p path

Specifies the mount point for the volume. Replace path with the complete pathname from root.

-c path

Specifies the path of the volume control directory. Replace path with the complete pathname from root. The volume control directory must be outside the volume.

-s ns

Sets the volume's name space. Replace ns with one or more of the following:

• DOS

• UNIX

• MAC

• OS/2

Use commas as delimiters between options.

-o opt

Sets the volume options. Replace opt with one or more of the following. Use commas as delimiters between options.

ro

Permits read-only access to the volume.

max_open_files=value

Specifies the maximum number of open files. Replace value with an integer between 0 and 49000. If this option is set to zero, an internal formula, based on the maximum number of connections, is used to calculate the value.

file_access_control=value

Specifies the type of file security. Replace value with one of the following:

• netware

• unix

• both

• none

cdrom

Makes the volume a CD-ROM volume, and forces the volume to be ro and to use UNIX for file access control.

npfs_directory_min_sync_interval=value

Specifies the minimum interval for synchronization in seconds. Replace value with an integer in the range 0 to 900. The default is 10.

npfs_directory_mandatory_sync_interval=value

Forces synchronization on directories that still appear to be synchronized. After the specified time (in seconds) elapses since the last synchronization of a directory, synchronization will be performed even though the directory appears to be unchanged.

Replace value with an integer in the range 0 to 3600. The default is 900.

npfs_directory_purge_threshold=value

Controls how often purges of deleted entries are performed by specifying how many deleted entries must exist before a purge takes place. Replace value with an integer in the range 0 to FFFFFFFE. The default is 32.

npfs_no_sync_at_mount=value

Determines whether the NetWare volume is synchronized with the UNIX filesystem when the NetWare volume is mounted. This controls only mount-time synchronization; the periodic synchronizations take place according to the volume's configuration.

This option is designed to be used with remotely mounted volumes or with volumes which include files from remotely mounted systems.

nfiles=value

Controls the size of the NetWare inodes file. When a volume is created, this value determines the initial size of the NetWare inodes file. It should be large enough to include all of the files that currently exist in the volume's path.

Replace value with the maximum number of files you expect to support in the volume. The default is 10000.
