nwvm

Modifies information from the voltab file and repairs/optimizes the NetWare inodes file. The NWU server must be down for you to use the nwvm utility.

Syntax:

nwvm [-B|-M] volname [-o option]

-B can be used to rebuild an existing usinodes file for a volume if this usinodes file is suspected of being corrupted. Before doing the rebuild, the following three files have to exist in the control directory/path for the volume: usinodes, extendedNames and trustee.sys.
This option will save the old file in the control directory as usinodes.old and the old extended names file as extendedNames.old. To preserve the trustee information when rebuilding the usinodes file, it will also create a file in the same control directory called ChangeTrustees. At NetWare startup time, this file will be used to resynchronize the trustee file trustee.sys with the newly created usinodes file.
-M modifies the volume information for the item specified. If either the control path (-c) or the mount path (-p) are modified, the information is changed only in the voltab file. The utility does not move the files in the old directories to 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, NWU will create new control files.
volname is the name of the volume to be modified or created. Volume names must be unique and contain 2 to 15 characters.
option sets the volume options. Replace option with one or more of the following. Use commas as delimiters between options.
- ro permits only read access to the volume.
- max_open_files=value specifies the maximum number of open files. Replace value with an integer from 0 to 49,000. If this option is set to 0, 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 use UNIX for file access control.
- npfs_directory_min_sync_interval=value specifies the minimum interval for synchronization. Replace value with an integer from 0 to 900. The default is ten seconds.
- npfs_directory_mandatory_sync_interval=value forces a synchronization on directories that still appear to be synchronized. After the specified time elapses since the last synchronization of a directory, a synchronization will be performed even though the directory appears to be unchanged.
  Replace value with an integer from 0 to 3600. The default is 900 seconds.
- 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 from 0 to 0xFFFFFFFF. The default is 32.
- npfs_no_sync_at_mount Determines whether the NetWare volume is synchronized with the UNIX file system when the NetWare volume is mounted. This controls only mount-time synchronization; the periodic synchronizations will take place according to the volume's configuration.
  The option is designed to be used with remotely mounted volumes or 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 needs to be large enough to include all 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. Default is 10000.

Examples:

Modifies the attributes of volumes in the voltab file:

nwvm -M volname -o max_open_files=50,nfiles=100
