| |
Hi, I'm maintaining couple of patches for ncpfs which could be usable for other ncpfs peoples. And because of several peoples asked me to post them to Linus, I asked Volker (current ncpfs maintainer) wheather he lend me ncpfs maintenance... I'll see how he decide. In the meantime I entreat peoples using ncpfs, especially on non-Intel architectures because of neither me nor my current beta-testers have access to non-Intel machine, wheather they could apply kernel patch available on ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/ncpfs/ /ncpfs-2.0.11.19/ncpfs-2.0.11.19-kernel-2.1.88.gz (also patch for 2.0.33 is available) and updated set of userspace utilities available from ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/ncpfs/ /ncpfs-2.0.11.19/ncpfs-2.0.11.19.tgz and test wheather they can connect to NDS and wheather they can utilize NFS namespace on servers. If you enable NDS support in ncpfs, you have to modify your ncpmount commands to add "-b" option to ncpmount commandline or change username from bindery to NDS form (without leading dot and without CN=, O=, OU=, C=). These kernel patches allows you to configure more precisely kernel ncpfs support - to get state of code as without patches, set Packet signatures to OFF Proprietary file locking to OFF Clear remove/delete inhibit to OFF Use NFS namespace if available to OFF Use LONG (OS/2) namespace if available to ON Allow mounting of volume subdirectories to OFF
There are following known problems: - You cannot connect with packet signatures in bindery mode to MOAB (moab bug, VLM cannot do it too) - You will not see contents of NSS volumes on MOAB if using NFS namespace (NSS incompatibility, native NetWare volumes are OK) - You cannot connect to MOAB through native IP (nobody wrote that)
I'm especially interested in - non-Intel machines (there will be (probably) unaligned memory accesses) - Does NDS support work with NetWare 4.0, 4.01, 4.02, IntraNetware for SB Thanks for your time & input Petr Vandrovec vandrove@vc.cvut.cz
P.S.: If you expect fast reaction, CC me, I read kernel-digest only. P.P.S.: Linus, if you read it: it is 42KB patch, should I split it down into smaller pieces? But I think that it is better do it in one step because of all is configurable and can be easy disabled.
