Managing Disk Space

  • To manage file compression, use nsscon to set file compression parameters.

Managing Files

  • To salvage or purge deleted files, use the NetWare Utilities option in the Novell Client or ConsoleOne.

  • To display information about files and directories, view the NetWare Info tab of the file or directory properties using the Novell Client.

NSS Directory and File Security

  • To view or change filesystem trustee assignments, use the rights command-line utility. The Novell Client and NetStorage can also be used.

  • To view or change directory and file attributes, use chmod or NetStorage.

Backing Up and Restoring Files

  • To back up and restore network files, use nbackup from the server console. For a more comprehensive backup/restore solution, use a third-party backup product that is SMS-compliant.

File storage and management are the core of any network server, and Novell NetWare has long offered the capability to manage files in many ways. The primary tool for file management has been Novell Storage Services (NSS). With OES Linux, Novell has brought this powerful filesystem to the Linux world.

This chapter looks at the various file storage capabilities and options available in OES Linux and discusses the advantages and potential pitfalls of each. This chapter also covers the SMS backup services offered with OES.
