README FILE FOR VRP31X.ZIP
This README file of VRP31X.ZIP accompanies VREPAIR.NLM v2.18 for NetWare
V3.11 or v3.10. The following files are included for this revision:
VREPAIR NLM 88941 9-10-92 5:02p
VRSHIM NLM 699 1-11-91 3:52p
VRP31X DOC (This File)
*****Note that this version of VREPAIR will work with NetWare v3.10 if
VRSHIM.NLM is used. If you are running VREPAIR.NLM under Netware
v3.11, do not use VRSHIM.NLM.
********* NOTE *****************************************************
This version of VREPAIR supersedes all 3.1X versions of VREPAIR
********************************************************************
Problems Addressed:
This version of VREPAIR checks for collisions in such a way that
speed is significantly increased. Also, a problem has been fixed in
the read ahead code that could cause a wrong value to be passed to
the comparison algorithm if the read ahead had not completed one
request before a second request is passed in.
This version of VREPAIR WILL ALLOW YOU TO PURGE DELETED FILES FROM
THE DRIVE. The default option under this new version is to retain
all deleted files. However, if you wish to purge the deleted files
from the disk, choose "SET VREPAIR OPTIONS" from the VREPAIR main
menu. You will then be shown the default options at the top of the
screen of which one will be "Retain Deleted Files". To change this
default, simply choose Option 4, "Purge All Deleted Files".
WARNING!!!!! Be aware that after VREPAIR is run with this option all
"SALVAGEABLE" files will be gone.
This version of VREPAIR enhances the functionality to support correction
of some errors that in the past, vrepair reported as unrepairable. These
are many of the directory FAT errors. This version of VREPAIR also fixes
a problem checking extended attributes.
To INSTALL this version of VREPAIR.NLM:
1) Bring up the file server without attempting to mount the
bad volume.
2) Using the diskette that has this version of VREPAIR on
it type, at the console prompt, LOAD A:VREPAIR.
NOTE: IF YOU ARE USING THIS VERSION OF VREPAIR ON
A NETWARE 386 V3.10 SERVER, YOU MUST LOAD VRSHIM.NLM
BEFORE LOADING VREPAIR.NLM.
You can load VREPAIR from the network drive or a C partition,
however, it is recommended that this VREPAIR be loaded from the A drive
so as not to confuse it with the standard VREPAIR already loaded on the
system.
****Note: The problems you have encountered that required the use of
VREPAIR may have been caused by hard drive and/or disk controller
problems and the necessary steps should be taken to trouble shoot the
system.
