mount LOCAL netware disk in linux

ronanio · 08-28-2006, 11:11 AM

I have a SAN presented disk to my linux box and ALL i want to do is mount it readonly.

Fdisk can see it and accurately labels it as 386 NW FS.

but i cant for the life of me get it mounted.

mount cant handle nw fs, so i installed ncpfs but thats only for remote mounting of nw fs apparently.

I need a way of accessing the data locally....

Any clues?

Someone is bound to have done this before...

really, has no-one tried doing this before? i find that hard to believe...

If a disk can be mounted over the netwrok im damn sure it can be mounted locally, i just need to fudge mount somehow...

ANY help at all would be appreciated...

Is this netware volume NSS or traditional FS ?

traditional NWFS 386 apparently...

My problem is that the disk is LOCAL scsi and not presented from the netware server.....

i dont know how this can be done....
