'''Netware File System
▲Netware File System, or NWFS, is a [[File_system|file system]], based on a modified version of [[File_Allocation_Table|FAT]], used by [[Novell]]'s [[Netware]] Operating system. It is the default/only file system for all volumes in versions 2.x through 4.x, and the default/only file system for the SYS volume continuing through version 5.x. There were two varieties: 16-bit NWFS 286, used in Netware 2.x; and 32-bit NWFS 386, used in Netware 3.x through Netware 6.x. It was superceded by the release of [[Novell_Storage_Services|NSS]] in 1998.
The published specifications for NWFS are:
Line 16 ⟶ 14:
* Maximum [[Metadata_(computing)|extended attributes]]: 16
* Maximum [[Alternate_data_stream|data streams]]: 10
* Support for different name spaces: [[Microsoft]] [[Windows]] Long names, [[Unix]], [[
Note: Every name space which is loaded takes up the same amount of directory entries, so while the maximum directory entries is 16,000,000, that is only with 1 name space loaded. Two name spaces reduce the usable directory entries to 8,000,000 (8,000,000 per name space). Three name spaces loaded reduce the maximum directory entries to 5,333,333 (5,333,333 per name space).
