Configuring and Managing NetWare Traditional Volumes 23
novdocx (en) 6 April 2007
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 volume. For information, see “Upgrading Legacy NSS and
NetWare Traditional Volumes” in the OES 2: NSS File System Administration Guide.
This section discusses the following:
Section 3.14.1, “Calculating Memory Required for Name Space Support,” on page 23
Section 3.14.2, “Adding a Name Space,” on page 23
Section 3.14.3, “Removing Name Spaces,” on page 24
3.14.1 Calculating Memory Required for Name Space Support
Use the following formula to calculate the name space memory requirement for Traditional NetWare
non-DOS volumes:
0.032 x volume_size (in MB) / block_size (in MB)
Round the size up to the highest number.
For example, adding Macintosh name space to a 100 MB volume with a block size of 4 MB would
require 1 MB of additional memory:
0.032 x 100 MB / 4 = 0.8 MB
3.14.2 Adding a Name Space
You must add name spaces only once, not each time you start the server.
Prerequisites
A mounted Traditional volume
Sufficient memory
Procedure
1 To load the appropriate name space: At the server console prompt, enter:
load [path]name_space
For example, to load the name space module for Macintosh support, enter:
load mac.nam
2 To add name-space support to the volume: At the server console prompt, enter:
add name space name to volume_name
In this example, name is the name space NLM and volume_name is the name of the volume
that stores the non-DOS files.
3 To verify that the name space loaded: At the server console prompt, enter:
volumes
This displays a list of all name spaces for the server.
