Situation
When changing the look namespace to "long" for a NSS volume
using Novell iManager a wrong entry is being created in
fstab.
The entry being created is "ns=Long" this should be "ns=long"
In /var/log/messages the following messages will be displayed:
Volume Mount Name Space option ns= has unknown value: Long
Since "Long" is not a valid namespace the system will be mounting the Volume with the default namespace "unix" which is case sensitive.
