17.1 What is an NCP share and how to manage it?

NCP volumes are NCP shares on Linux POSIX file systems such as Ext3, XFS, and Reiser. Storage Services (NSS) volumes are a special type of NCP volume.

The directory and file access are controlled with the OES trustee model for file system trustees and trustee rights. Users access NCP volume data using the Client for Open Enterprise Server software on their Windows or Linux workstations.

These are few actions that can be performed on a share:

  • Verify and resync rights

  • View and manage open files

  • Manage encryption and MFA

  • Activate or deactivate
