This file contains VREPAIR.NLM for NetWare v3.11 & v3.12. The file checks for collisions on the network in such a way that speed is significantly increased. This version will allow you to purge deleted files, repairs more errors and fixes a problem with 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.

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.

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.
