Compressed Files In Nss Volumes Inaccessible, Post Sp3 Installation
Just like any other operating system user, a Novell user installs latest service packs to update his operating system, fix some errors, and enhance the software program. These patches (usually numbered as SP1, SP2, SP3, etc) are readily available on the Internet and are easy-to-install. While installing the service packs provides numerous advantages, it might also result in a deadlock, which makes the files saved in the NSS volume inaccessible. In such cases, most of the users use a valid data backup to restore the files. But, if the users have not created any backup or backup falls short of restoring the required data, then you need to opt for an advanced third-party Novell Recovery software that can recover your data.
To illustrate the above case, consider a scenario where you install Novell Netware 6.0 Support Pack 3 on your system. After the service pack installation is complete and you attempt to move, open, or erase the files, you are unable to do so. In most such cases, the files that are affected have .pdf, .xls, and .doc extension.
Cause
The fundamental reason for inaccessibility of all the above files are hard bang and abend. A NSS compression tree comprises of various decompressed and compressed bits assigned on the file. This causes a deadlock, which makes all the above files inaccessible.
Resolution:
To resolve the above issue and to access the above files, you need to follow the below steps:
-
Update the NSS module COMN.NSS to later than 19th June 2003
-
Update the NSS utility COMPFIX.NLM later than 9th June 2003
While the above resolutions prove successful in most cases, there are still some probabilities of these files remaining inaccessible after these resolutions. In such cases, the only way to recover your files is by using an advanced Novell Recovery software.
