 nss /Maintenance=volume_name switches the specified NSS
volume to maintenance mode.
 nss /ForceActivate=volume_name forces an NSS volume to
become active.
 nss /VerifyVolume=volume_name verifies the specified NSS
volume’s physical integrity.
 nss /RebuildVolume=volume_name rebuilds the specified NSS
volume.
 nss /RebuildVolume allows you to select an NSS volume from the
menu for rebuild.
 nss /AutoVerifyVolume=volume_name allows you to verify an
NSS volume at startup.
 nss /StorageResetThreshold=value allows you to reset the
threshold for a low storage space warning. The default is 10. The range is
1 to 1000000.
 nss /(No)StorageAlertMessages turns ON or OFF the low
storage message to users. The default is ON.
 nss /NumWorkToDo=value sets the number of WorkToDo entries
which may be concurrently executing. NSS uses WorkToDo entries for
tasks such as flushing file metadata to disk in the background. Increasing
the number of WorkToDo entries might be useful on a system that is
heavily used. NSS always reserves 20 WorkToDo entries. The default is
40. The range is 5 to 100.
 nss /FileFlushTimer=value sets the Flush Time for modified
open files in seconds. Increasing this number might reduce the number of
writes to disk; however, it increases the amount of data that will be lost if
the system crashes. The default is 10 seconds. The range is 1 to 3600
seconds.
 nss /OpenFileHashShift=value sets the size of the Open File
hash table (in powers of 2). If many files are used concurrently on the
server, we recommend that you increase this number. The default is 11.
The range is 8 to 20.
 nss /ClosedFileHashShift=value sets the number of closed files
that can be cached in memory. The default is 512. The range is 1 to
100000.
 nss /MailBoxSize=value sets the size of your mailbox. The default
is 228. The range is 64 to 256.
