Line 29: The NetWare file system was the first storage architecture to employ sector remapping for failed drive sectors called drive hotfixing which would redirect sector mapping to a reserved area of the device. Later Disk Drive manufactuters employed the same technique internally within the drive logic to perform a similiar function transparently to the host operating system. The NWFS on-disk format for NetWare 3.x, 4,x, and 5.x was ~~never~~publically ~~publicly~~released ~~documented~~on Linux in 1998 and 1999 by former Novell Chief Scientist Jeff Merkey and the Timpanogas Research Group. The published specifications for 32-bit NWFS are: * Maximum file size: 4GB * Maximum volume size: 1TB
