After you load the dosfat.nss module, any DOS FAT partitions are dynamically made available as NSS volumes. The volume name displayed by the NetWare Volumes command is dosfat_ x, where x is the drive letter, for example dosfat_c.
The following are some benefits of the dosfat.nss module:
Long Filenames: DOS filenames for file systems such as OS/2*. This uses the Windows 95/98/ME method for placing long names onto a DOS FAT partition.
NetWare Trustee Rights: Only users with supervisor rights can access the volume.
NetWare Utilities: Any client or server utility that accesses or manages NetWare volumes can do the same with DOS FAT partitions.
MAP Command . NetWare clients can map to the volume and use it as any other NetWare mapping.
Local Partition. Allows access to the local partition.
