Environment
Novell Open Enterprise Server (Linux based)
Support Pack 2 Situation
Using novell-ncpserv-1.3-2 and novell-ncp-5.0.1-16 The OES Linux server is not sending back purgeable blocks information on NCP 22 subfunction 44. How to reproduce. Map a windows client to a NSS volume on Linux OES. Have salvage on the volume and delete some files so purgeable files do exist. From the workstation go to Windows Explorer and right click the drive you mapped to the Linux NSS volume and choose Properties. Choose the "Net Ware Volume Statistics" and you will see 0 for purgeable space.
There is no problem in actually salvaging the files.
Resolution
This has been fixed. Please update to the latest version.
Additional Information
To find the purgeable space go to the server console and enter"nssmu" select "volumes" and look at the purgeable space for your
specific volume. You can also select "pools" and see the
purgeable space for the pool.
If you need to purge a volume you can enter "ncpcon" from
the server console, then enter "purge volume VOLNAME" where VOLNAME
is replaced with the volume you want to purge.
