- I am experiencing some very strange stuff and wonder if it sounds familiar
- to any of you.
-
- I have Netware 3.11 with Mac NW-3.011 installed, as well as NFS1.2.
- The AFP.NLM is loaded with the nomultiple option.
-
- One of my volumes has all three name spaces installed, and is used as a shared
- file space for Mac, Dos, and Unix systems. One of the subdirector structures,
- a rather large one of serveral megabytes, was originally created on a Unix
- system. When the shared file space became available we copied (using tar)
- the entire structure over to the shared Novell volume, and began to access
- files in all three name spaces. I think that this is the only subdirectory
- structure on the volume that was created this way. Most of the others were
- created originally using Dos or Macs.
-
- I now have a situation which seems to be unique to that subdirectory. Some,
- but not all, directories and files, when accessed through a Mac, cause the
- following to happen:
-
- 1 - The desktop disappears. That is, all windows and icons vanish, but the
- screen doesn't go black.
- 2 - A few seconds pass.
- 3 - The desktop reappears, with all windows collapsed back into the mounted
- volume icon.
-
- The access can be as simple as closing a folder (it never happens when openning
- a folder) or opening a file with an application. Permissions all appear
- as they should be, or at least OK to me.
-
- I tried to rebuild the desktop on that volume using a Sys 6 Mac, but it
- hangs after a few minutes, and won't complete.
-
- Anyone seen something like this or have suggestions.
