Novell Storage Services in OES 11 SP1 has been modified to run on 64-bit SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 SP2. In addition to bug fixes, NSS provides the following enhancements and behavior changes in the OES 11 SP1 release:
Support was added for the Btrfs file system. The Btrfs file system is now available as an alternative to other supported file systems (Ext2, Ext3, ReiserFs, and XFS) when you create a Linux volume. The btrfsprogs package is required. You can use NSSMU or NLVM to manage the Btrfs volumes as you would manage other Linux data volumes. Btrfs volumes can also be configured for NCP file access and for clustering with Novell Cluster Services. For more information, see Overview of Linux POSIX File Systems
in the OES 11 SP3: Linux POSIX Volume Administration Guide.
The NCP option for the NSSMU or nlvm create linux volume command can be used to enable the Linux POSIX file system on the volume to be accessed with the NetWare Core Protocol (NCP).
The clear option is introduced to remove the user quota, directory quota, and volume quota restriction.
The nssquota utility now supports Volume quota. You can use this utility to set, get, or clear the volume quota on NSS volumes.
For more information, see nssquota utility in the OES 11 SP1: NSS File System Administration Guide for Linux.
metamig can restore trustee information gathered by TRUSTEE.NLM. For more information, see metamig in the OES 11 SP1: NSS File System Administration Guide for Linux.
--delete command is introduced to delete the existing NSS Admin User from eDirectory.
On the NSSMU Partitions page, the Partitions list panel has been widened to accommodate long partition names. If you widen the NSSMU display screen, it widens the Partitions list panel and allows you to see the partitions' full names.
