Salvage (undelete) and Purge are other features that are available only on NSS and only where the
Salvage attribute has been set (the NSS default). They can be managed in the NCP client and
through NetStorage, but they are not available on NCP volumes where the underlying file system is
Linux POSIX.
Some administrators assume they can provide NSS attribute support by copying or migrating files,
directories, and metadata from an NSS volume to a defined NCP volume on a Linux POSIX
partition. However, this doesn’t work, because NSS file attributes are only supported on NSS
volumes.
6.12 Novell-tomcat Is for OES Use Only
The
novell-tomcat
package is installed for Novell service use only. It is an embedded part of
Novell services, not a generic application platform.
If you want to deploy a Web application on Tomcat on an OES server, install and use the Tomcat
package that comes with SLES 10, not the
novell-tomcat
package.

6.13.1 Understanding Name Space Support
NSS stores LONG, UNIX, DOS, and AFP name spaces for all files. The default name space sets
which name space will be exposed.
In OES 2 the LONG name space was made the default to help performance of NCP, CIFS, and
Samba file services. If your primary use is for GroupWise, we recommend changing the default
name space to UNIX.
6.13.2 The Role of EVMS
EVMS is the only supported volume manager for NSS volumes on OES 2.
Although some administrators have successfully created NSS volumes on hard disks managed by
non-EVMS volume managers, there are serious management and configuration limitations
associated with this unsupported implementation. For more information, see “
Using NSS on
Devices Managed by Non-EVMS Volume Managers (Linux) ” in the OES 2 SP2: NSS File System
Administration Guide .
NOTE: EVMS support is automatic and requires no manual configuration unless NSS is being
installed on the device that contains the boot (
/boot
) and root (
/
) partitions (the system device). In
that case only you must follow the instructions in “ Installing with EVMS as the Volume Manager of
the System Device ” in the OES 2 SP2: Installation Guide .
