Integrated File System Introduction

 

QNetWare directory structure

The /QNetWare directory structure represents multiple distinct file systems:

• The structure represents Novell NetWare servers and volumes out in the network in the following form:

  /QNetWare/SERVER.SVR/VOLUME
  

  The extension .SVR is used to represent a Novell NetWare server.

• When a volume under a server is accessed either through the integrated file system menus, commands, or APIs, the root directory of the NetWare volume is automatically mounted on the VOLUME directory under /QNetWare.
• QNetWare represents NDS trees on the network in the following form:

  /QNetWare/CORP_TREE.TRE/USA.C/ORG.O/ORG_UNIT.OU/SVR1_VOL.CN
  

  The extensions .TRE, .C, .O, .OU, and .CN are used to represent NDS trees, countries, organizations, organizational units, and common names, respectively. If a Novell NetWare volume is accessed through the NDS path through a volume object or an alias to a volume object, it's root directory is also automatically mounted on the NDS object.
