Hi Dieter


It's me again.


I followed your detailed instuction and surely have achieved some good
results.

So in Section I of the nwserv.conf file, I have the following defined

1 SYS /var/mars_nwe/sys ki 777 666

Starting the nwserv, I therefore can see most of the files and
directories that I have put under the above defined directory
/var/mars_nwe/sys.

By saying most, I mean it's about 90%.

For example, two files, which cannot be seen from the mars_nwe sever,
but can be seen in linux, have the names formclass.VCT and
formclass.VCX. I can not see these files when browsing / searching
through this SYS volume.

But strangely, I can see these two files when I used the file manager
and browsed from another path; which is a samba disk share that I have
set up on the same linux machine.

Any comment about this?


Thanks

Yes, I understand now.


Also I was fool enough to overlook something that you have pointed to me
last time. Something about name-space and the DOS naming convention 8.3

I thought you were saying that naming convention must comform to DOS
Version 8.3. Now I know you were trying to tell me the file name <= 8
and file extention <=3 !

No wounder that two files formclass.VCX and formclass.VCT (and others
with similar naming pattern) could not be seen.

Having understood this, I subsequently have added the 'O' flag in
Section 1; the volume definition section. And now every single file
reside inside the defined volume can be seen.

I choose to add the 'O' flag because I expect that there are more and
more files will be generated in the future by using different kind of
application which may not comply with the DOS 8.3 naming convention.

Anyway, I am happy with the present functioning of the MARS_NWE server.


Thanks Dieter
