'''Netware File System''' ('''NWFS'''), is a [[file system]], based on a heavily-modified version of [[File Allocation Table|FAT]]. It was used in [[Novell, Inc.|Novell]]'sthe [[Novell NetWare|NetWare]] [[operating system]]. It is the default and only file system for all volumes in versions 2.x through 4.x, and the default and only file system for the SYS volume continuing through version 5.x. There were two varieties of NWFS: 16-bit NWFS 286, used in Netware 2.x; and 32-bit NWFS 386, used in Netware 3.x through Netware 6.x. It was superseded by the release of [[Novell Storage Services|NSS]] in 1998.
