NetWare Volume IMAGER 1.0 Released/NWFS 2.0.1 Released

[Jeff V. Merkey]

The NetWare Volume IMAGER for doing NetWare to Linux server migrations
is available for download  at 207.109.151.240 in \netmig\nwimage.  DOS,
Linux, and Windows NT/2000 versions are all available.  The IMAGER
creates compressed meta files of an entire Linux systems NetWare volumes
and allows system admins an easy way to archive, consolidate, merge, and
restore NetWare volumes under Linux over a network to the same server or
consolidated servers.  The GNU version does NOT compress the image meta
files, but the licensed version does.

This is useful for folks who are migrating large numbers of NetWare
servers to Linux/Windows NT/2000 that need to merge/split/consolidate
server volumes as part of the migration process.  

The LRU bugs are fixed in the NWFS 2.0 drivers (it was a place I was
using down_interruptible when I should have been using down -- the lock
got unlatched allowimg multiple CPUs to corrupt memory when another app
sent a signal).  There's also a new tar.gz with the IMAGER tools and
updates for the file system config tools.  We also discovered a bug with
inactive mirror groups after a mirroring failover, when you tried to
remove invalid mirror members, NWCONFIG would get a segmentation fault. 
This has been fixed.
