Novell 5 server crash VRepair question

[rsebasti]

Server was taken offline due to interrupted power loss. How long does it take to vrepair a 26Gb volume? It's been on that screen for an hour...

Any steps hereafter will be greatly appreciated...

Well it shouldn't take that long, but it can depend on your server specification/memory etc... and also it depends on what data is stored on the server and what errors it comes across.

I would hope that by the time you read this, it has finished??

I don't like NSS volumes on Netware 5.x. They are really hokey and difficult to manage. It's not easy to convert Traditional to NSS, despite what you might read about it. There is a conversion utility available but it really just copies to the New NSS volume and then deletes the Traditional volume. You'll need 26GB free space (going by the numbers you listed) for this to work.

If you really want to benefit from NSS, upgrade to NetWare 6.x. Much better.
