Hi there,
I'm a netware newbie here. I need to create a new volume outside the SYS volume. My coleague had installed netware 5.1, but only assign 1 volume (SYS) on a single partition of 40 gb hard disk.
I have tried to do this: Load nwconfig Standard disk options NW Volume options it shows only one SYS volume wtih 36,102MB size.
Tried to Add, Modify size segments but cannot be done. I have to delete whoe SYS volume to assign new volume. Can sombeody help me on how to create a new volume without destroying SYS volume?
