Adding Long Name Space
Make sure that long filename support is installed on NetWare 3 or NetWare 4
servers. NetWare 5 or later servers automatically support long filenames.
IMPORTANT: Each name space added to a volume requires additional server
memory. If you add name space support to a volume on a server without sufficient
memory, that volume cannot be mounted. Once a name space is added to a
volume, the name space can be removed from the volume only by deleting the
volume and re-creating it, or by using VREPAIR.
1 Load the long name space.
At the server console prompt, enter
LOAD LONG.NAM
NOTE: On versions of NetWare earlier than NetWare 4.11, use the OS/2* name
space, OS2.NAM. For NetWare 3.11 servers, use OS2OPNFX.NML for long
filenames. This NLM
TM
is a part of 311PTD.EXE and is available on the Novell
Web site.
2 Add the long name space.
At the server console prompt, enter
ADD NAME SPACE LONG TO VOLUME volume_name
