NAME

mount_nwfs - mount NetWare volume from a NetWare file server

SYNOPSIS

mount_nwfs [-Chv] -S server -U user [-connection options] -V
volume
           [-M mode] [-c case] [-d mode] [-f mode] [-g  gid]
[-l locale]
           [-n os2] [-u uid] [-w scheme] node
mount_nwfs [-options] /server:user/volume[/path] node

DESCRIPTION

The mount_nwfs utility allows to mount volume from a NetWare

server. It
may use either existing connection or create new: if no us

able connection
was found it will try to establish a new one. Connection

has count of
references to it, so when last mount will be dismounted con

nection will
be closed. It is possible to create connection without any

mounts (but
use it for them) with ncplogin(1).

Note two forms of command line. In the first form, server

and user specified via -S and -U options respectively. In the second

form server and
user specified in special part of mount(8) command line ar

guments (the
-S, -U and -V options are not used in this case). This al

lows use of
fstab(5) file (see EXAMPLES below).

The options are:

-S server

Name of NetWare server to connect. For native IP

you will need
also -A option.

-U user

Name of user used in login sequence.

-connection options

See ncplogin(1) for details.

-V volume

Volume name to mount. Volume name can also be spec

ified after
all options and before mount-point.

node Path to mount volume.

-c case

Select a case option which affects on name represen

tation. Case
can be one of the following:

Value Meaning

l All existing file names converted to lower

case. Newly

created file gets a lower case under OS2

name space.
This is the default when mounting volumes

with DOS name
space.

L Same as 'l' but file system tries to be

case insensi

tive. May not work well.

n No case conversion is performed. Warning!

Use this

option with DOS name space only as a last

resort,
because creating a lower case name in the

DOS name space
can lead to unpredictable results. This is

the default
when mounting volumes with OS2 name space.

u All existing file names converted to upper

case. Newly

created file gets an upper case under OS2

name space.

U Same as 'u' but file system tries to be

case insensi

tive. May not work well.

-f mode, -d mode

Specify permissions that should be assigned to files

and directories. The values must be specified as octal num

bers. Default
value for the file mode is taken from mount point,

default value
for the dir mode adds execute permission where the

file mode
gives read permission.

Note that these permissions can differ from the

rights granted by
NetWare server.

-n namespace

Do not use namespace. Currently only OS2 can be

here.

-v Print version number.

-u uid, -g gid

User id and group id assigned to files. The default

is owner and
group id from directory where volume is mounted.

-l locale

Set the locale for case conversion. By default

mount_nwfs tries
to use an environment variable LC_*.

-w scheme

Select a scheme used to convert file names between

NetWare and
FreeBSD. Supported conversion schemes are:

asis Characters passed as is without any

alteration.

koi2cp866 koi8-r <-> CP866

se Suits for setups used in Sweden.

-M mode

See ncplogin(1) for details. If this option is

omitted, connection permissions assumed the same as directory mode

(-d) option.

FILES

~/.nwfsrc keeps static parameters for connections and

other informa

tion. See

/usr/share/examples/nwclient/dot.nwfsrc for details.

NOTES

Before any NCP connection can be established kernel must be

configured
for IPX support, IPXrouted and KLD nwfs.ko should be loaded.

EXAMPLES

Next examples illustrates how to connect to NetWare server

nwserv as user
GUEST and mount volumes SYS and VOL1:

mount_nwfs -S nwserv -U guest -V sys /nw/s1/sys
mount_nwfs /nwserv:guest/sys /nw/s1/sys
mount -t nwfs /nwserv:guest/vol1 /nw/s1/vol1
mount -t nwfs /nwserv:boris/sys/home/boris

/home/boris/nw/home

The last example mounts only subdirectory on a volume and

equivalent to
NetWare 'map root' command.

It is possible to use fstab(5) for nwfs mounts:

/nwserv:guest/sys /nw/s1/sys nwfs rw,noauto

0 0
/nwserv:guest/vol1 /nw/s1/vol2 nwfs rw,noauto

0 0

HISTORY

The mount_nwfs utility first appeared in FreeBSD 4.0.
