NWFS is an independent open source implementation of Novell's Native 
NetWare file system on Linux.  NWFS allows Linux to mount and read files
and informaton from Native NetWare Server Hard Disks.  NWFS is a 
local file system that reads the proprietary file system formats  
of Novell's NetWare 386, NetWare 486, NetWare 5, and NetWare 6 
Operating Systems.  NWFS does not read or support Novell's NSS
(NetWare Storage Services) on-disk formats.  

NWFS is maintained by Jeff Merkey of the Utah Native American 
Church (www.utah.nac.org).  NWFS source code and utilities can 
be downloaded from the ftp.utah-nac.org.  Please direct any 
questions regarding NWFS to jmerkey@utah-nac.org or to 
jmerkey@timpanogas.org.

NetWare Volume(s)
[SYS            ] sz-00003751 blk-65536  F/D-0000/0001  (OK)

To mount a NetWare Volume named "SYS" to a pre-exisitng mount point
(directory) called /SYS, type:

[root@FENRISLAIR]#
[root@FENRISLAIR]# mount sys /SYS -t nwfs -o SYS
[root@FENRISLAIR]#

To dismount, type:

[root@FENRISLAIR]#
[root@FENRISLAIR]# umount /SYS -t
[root@FENRISLAIR]#

You should copy the utilities into the /usr/bin directory.  If you want to
change any volume configurations, you should only do so with the driver
unloaded and all volumes dismounted.  See NWCONFIG
for very complete help on how to manage NetWare volumes.
