1 What is the Novell Drive?

Each Computer Science students at JMU is allocated some storage on a departmental server. This server runs Novell software and, hence, is often calld the "Novell Drive" (or the "N Drive").

2 Access to the Novell Drive from MS-Windows

When you log into a computer running MS-Windows in one of the Departmental labs, the "Novell Drive" is automatically mounted (usually as the M: or N: drive).

You can access the "Novell Drive" from your own computer (if you are on the "JMU Network") using CIFS or the Microsoft Client Service for Netware .

3 Access to the Novell Drive from Linux

When you log into a computer running Linux in one of the Departmental labs, the "Novell Drive" is NOT automatically mounted. You can mount it by entering the following in a command shell:

    mount-n
    

Before you log out, you must remember to unmount the "Novell Driver" as follows:

    umnt-n
    

4 Access to the Novell Drive from OS X

If you are using OS X on your computer, you can access files on the Novell drive using "native file access" (Note: You may need to include the jmuad\ prefix in your eid.)
