Novell Storage Services (NSS) is a file system used by the Novell NetWare network operating system. Support for NSS was introduced in 2004 to SUSE Linux via low-level network NCPFS protocol. It has some unique features that make it especially useful for setting up shared volumes on a file server in a local area network.
NSS is a 64-bit journaling file system with a balanced tree algorithm for the directory structure. Its published specifications (as of NetWare 6.5) are:
- Maximum file size: 8 EB
- Maximum partition size: 8 EB
- Maximum device size (Physical or Logical): 8 EB
- Maximum pool size: 8 EB
- Maximum volume size: 8 EB
- Maximum files per volume: 8 trillion
- Maximum mounted volumes per server: unlimited if all are NSS
- Maximum open files per server: no practical limit
- Maximum directory tree depth: limited only by client
- Maximum volumes per partition: unlimited
- Maximum extended attributes: no limit on number of attributes.
- Maximum data streams: no limit on number of data streams.
- Unicode characters supported by default
- Support for different name spaces: DOS, Microsoft Windows Long names (loaded by default), Unix, Apple Macintosh
- Support for restoring deleted files (salvage)
- Support for transparent compression
- Support for encrypted volumes
- Support for data shredding
Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
