SYMPTOMS
When you install Microsoft Office 97 on a network server that is running
Novell NetWare 4.11, the following error message appears:
The specified volume does not support long file names.
You must select a destination that supports long file
names, or force the use of short file names. To force
short file names, exit now and restart Setup using the /F
command line option.
CAUSE
In earlier versions of Novell NetWare, the OS/2 name space driver is named
Os2.nam. You can make long file name support available when this driver is
loaded at a command prompt or in the Startup.ncf boot file. However, the
name of the OS/2 name space driver has changed in Novell NetWare version
4.11 or later.
Most operating systems now support long files names. The OS/2 name space
driver name changed from Os2.nam to Long.nam. In addition, you must
register the new name space for each volume by using the following syntax:
ADD NAME SPACE <name space> TO <volume name>
For example, to add the long file name space to a volume named SYS, type
the following command at the NetWare console:
ADD NAME SPACE LONG TO SYS
NOTE: Type this command at the NetWare console. You need to type this
command only once per volume.
