The NWFS on-disk format was never publicly documented by Novell. The published specifications{{Citation needed|date=December 2010}} for 32-bit NWFS are:

* Maximum file size: 4 [[GibibyteGigabyte|GiBGB]]

* Maximum volume size: 1 [[TebibyteTerabyte|TiBTB]]

* Maximum files per volume: 2 million when using a single name space.

* Maximum files per server: 16 million

Line 56:

Every name space requires its own separate directory entry for each file. While the maximum number of directory entries is 16,000,000, two resident name spaces would reduce the usable maximum number of directory entries to 8,000,000, and three to 5,333,333.

16-bit NWFS could handle volumes of up to 256 [[MebibyteMegabyte|MiBMB]]. However, its only name-space support was a dedicated [[Application programming interface|API]] to handle Macintosh clients.
