ncpfs Quirks
PWF Linux uses a modified version of the Linux NCP file system (ncpfs) for mounting home directories. This version of ncpfs is set up to provide something closer to Unix file-system semantics than the standard one, but it still differs in the following ways:
File Names
File names are limited to 255 characters. File names are in ISO 8859-1. he following characters are not usable in file names and will be converted to "." (hex 2E) when an object is created:
Code (hex) Character (ISO 8859-1) Reason
00 NUL Unix name terminator
2A * Probably confuses ArcServe
2F / Unix directory separator
3F ? Confuses ArcServe
5C \ Confuses ArcServe
80--9F C1 controls No representation in server character set
FF ÿ Confuses ArcServe
All other characters should work correctly.
Long file names
File names longer than 127 characters cannot be created. System calls which attempt to create them will return ENAMETOOLONG.
Hard Links
Hard links are not supported. link(2) returns EPERM.
Ownership
All objects appear to be owned by the logged-in user. chown(2) returns EPERM.
Permissions
Unix permissions set by chmod(2) appear correctly to stat(2), but only execute permissions are honoured by the kernel. All other permission checking is handled by NetWare. Files with none of the "write" bits set get flagged as NetWare "read-only".
Unlinked files
Once a file has been unlinked, read(2) and write(2) operations on it fail with EPERM.
Device nodes
While it's possible to create device nodes, they don't retain major and minor number information, so they're of little use. Users can't create them anyway.
mmap(2)
The implementation of mmap() is incomplete. Attempting to use mmap() with MAP_SHARED will return EINVAL.
Quotas
Exceeding quota generates EIO rather than EDQUOT. There is no easy way to find out a user's remaining quota.
