In addition to bug fixes, the following features for DFS are added since the OES 1 SP2 release.
Novell Distributed File Services for OES 2 supports Novell Storage Services (NSS) volumes on OES 2 Linux.
The following DFS enhancements are available:
A DFS junction can point to a directory on the target volume. Previously, junctions could point only to the root of a volume. Some restrictions apply. For details, see Section 9.1.1, Supported Combinations for Junctions.
The target volume for a junction can be an NSS volume on the following platforms:
OES 2 Linux and later
OES 1 SP2 Linux
NetWare 6.5 SP8
The target volume for a junction can be an NCP volume (an NCP share on an Ext3 or Reiser file system) on an OES 2 Linux server.
The Novell Distributed File Services (DFS) plug-in for Novell iManager 2.7 allows you to create a DFS management context and manage its Volume Location Database (VLDB) and services.
The following enhancements are available for the Distributed File Services role for Novell iManager 2.7:
Create and manage the DFS management context and its replica sites.
Manage VLDB Services and the VLDB.
Create, delete, or rename junctions.
Set file system trustees and trustee rights for a DFS junction and its target location.
Copy file system trustees and trustee rights between the junction and its target location.
