Netware used its own filesystem that supported some basic access

the on-disk layout was "pre-encoded for IPX", which is, of course,
ridiculous.

Oh yes,
I'd say so. One such fellow insisted that files on a Netware
server were stored "pre-encoded into IPX format" on the server's
drives, which is how it could serve up file data so fast.
Dave, I may be VERY wrong (and most times I am :o)) but I remember a
dedicated novell netware server that stored the files in a different
way, to facilitate access. Now I don't remember if it had something with
interleave/phisical cluster location or something in the way the blocks
were encoded.
I'll try googling that, This is very old info, maybe I'm completely
wrong...
Hum, haven't found much info, beyond the hard disk had a special
formatting for netware access...See here:

Any info on that?
