I am posting this for one of our NetWare administrators. I am hoping
that someone on this list who has some NetWare experience might have some
good suggestions for him (my NetWare expertise is next to nil).
Thanks in advance.

I have a netware 4.1 server using ADSM for backups of the file system and
NDS. My current USERS: volume is full, so I installed another hard disk
(and additional memory) in the server. I would like to MOVE the USERS:
volume to the new disk, and make it larger without losing the trustee
assignments. I would prefer to avoid adding a segment from the new disk to
the existing volume. If a volume spans disks, then the entire volume is
lost if one disk crashes.
As a last resort I know it is possible to delete the USERS: volume, recreate
a new and larger USERS: volume on the new drive then restoring the NDS and
file system info via ADSM. I am hoping there is a less drastic method.
I have been able to duplicate the USERS: volume file system on to a new
volume, but not the NDS rights. I've tried using NCOPY, WIN95 drag 'n drop,
and ADSM's restore all with similar results.
I have tried renaming volumes via the Install utility, and found that the
NDS rights are automatically updated with the new volume name. So, if there
is a way to copy (or restore) the NDS information associated with the file
system from one volume to another, I could then safely delete the current
USERS volume and then rename the new volume to USERS: and be done.
The ADSM manual indicates there is a "-VOLinformation" switch that can
restore the trustee directory assignments for the ROOT directory of a
volume. But, when I tried "load dsmc res users:/shared/cso/*
testvol1:/shared/cso/ -vol -su=yes" the files were restored without the
rights assignments.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
