I am using Novell Netware 4.11 server with two hardisk,each hardisk with its own volume.
The block size of my SYS volume is 64KB and my space capacity of SYS volume is 4.0G.
The problem is the other volume of my VOL1 which consist of space capacity 4.0G is set to
block size only 4KB,so I would like to know how can I change the block size of my VOL1 to
64KB.I cannot select the option of changing the block size of my vol1.
Please advice.

Novell Volume Block size is set when the volume is created. You need to drop VOL1 and recreate it with 64K Block size.
Novell TID 2924090: Changing Volume Block size in NW 4.1x. gives more details.

Make sure you have reliable back-ups of any existing data on VOL1 which needs to be kept. This procedure destroys data on VOL1 and you will need to restore from backup!!
