[Gllug] Mounting Netware partition with mount -t ncpfs and ncpmount

[Richard West]

Paul,

Thanks for your reply.  I am effectively trying to boot Knoppix from a
CD on a Novell 3.12 server.  I am trying to recover data that Novell can
no longer see.

I will study the information at the URLs that you sent.

Regards,
 
 
Richard.

First off are you trying to boot knoppix on a netware server and mount
the local drives, or are you trying to mount from a netware server. If
the latter you'll need to configure ipx and use ncpmount like so:

ipx_configure --auto_primary=on --auto_interface=on
ncpmount -S SERVER -U user /mnt/net/server

ie, ncp is the netware network filesystem protocol, cf nfs or smb

If you are trying to do something to a netware server directly you will
need to use nwfs (cf fat, ext3).  I haven't used these tools but nwfs
seems to be what you need, the partitions should be dos partitions and
then you need the fs drivers/tools:
