[»] file size limit
by Igor Markov - Aug 17th 2006 04:17:19

Please, tell me how to avoid fize size limit of 2Gb in ncpfs?
Will be lfs support added in further versions of ncpfs, like in smbfs?

[»] printing to NDS queues
by don taber - Sep 1st 2004 09:45:27

The evil Netware adminstrators where I work recently deleted all the bindery print queues and left only NDS queues. Neither pqlist nor nprint seem to find them. Are they not "NDS aware" like ncpmount? Will they ever be?

Thanks.

[»] pserver
by Flatter - Nov 27th 2003 06:58:23

This is a great project. ncpmount and nprint are working perfect! But when I try to start pserver I get the error
Could not attach to queue W: Unknown Server error (0x89EA)

What could be a reason for this? I am using a 4.2 Netware Server.

[»] Great Project But Need Forums
by Jason Huebel - Mar 20th 2003 21:42:41

This is a great project. It has come in really handy in doing simple tar backups of Netware servers from a Linux box.

I only have one problem with ncpfs: Stale NFS file handle

This error shows up when I list the contents of the directory that served as the mountpoint. However, if I know a subdirectory off the mountpoint it works okay from there.

It would be great if there were a centralize forum area to discuss ncpfs problems, so users can find answers quickly.

    > This is a great project. It has come in

    I couldn't agree more. I'd like to see a forum
    or place to request help. I have an error when I
    try to mount my home directory server, but other
    servers are OK.

    One place says the server needs a replica on
    it. Why?

      The replica is needed since I believe ncpfs uses bindery authentication (as opposed to NDS authentication). bindery emulation in Netware 4.11 and above required a replica on the target server in order to work, if I remember correctly. You also had to set a default bindery context on the server (the default NDS context that bindery lookups would be made on).

    I agree 100% !

    By the way, does anyone know what this ncpmount error means?

    ncpmount: No such device in mount(2)

      That error can appear if you are trying to mount a mountpoint on the filesystem without specifying the target filesystem you want to mount.

        The same exact ncpmount command works on a different system configuration, so I know the target filesystem is valid. In my case I am beginning to suspect the kernel modifications that were done for optimizing to my notebook hardware. (the stock kernel seems to work)

        About forums, I've found lots of Q&A about ncpfs and ipx over at http://www.linuxquestions.org so that's where I've been going lately for help and solace. ;-)

          I just had the same error message, and I solved it by compiling NCP file system ability into the kernel.
