Running Windows 2003 Storage Server R2 on a HP Proliant DL380 G4 with 3GB
memory connected to a HP EVA3000. We are using it to serve out both Windows
and UNIX (NFS) shares. In some cases, some of the directories are shared out
as both Windows and UNIX, sometimes the UNIX share is a subdirectory of the
Windows share. Occasionally we will start seeing an event ID 1012 nfssvr -
There was a mapping failure. When this happens, we lose all of the nfs
shares from the server. When I reboot the server, everything comes back.
There are no errors on the EVA which would indicate a drive or controller
problem. This seems to occur when we are doing file transfers containing
40000+ files. Has anyone seen anything like this, or have any suggestions?

From what I understand - files created by UNIX clients cannot be
accessed from Windows clients. Is that correct?
If yes, you need to enable KeepInheritance settings and manage
permissions like you do fo normal Windows shares.

To find out how to enable KeepInheritance, read this KB article -

Services for UNIX)

I installed the latest version of SFU on my XP Pro laptop. So far, I've
only used it for the UNIX shells. I see there are X11 directories. Can SFU
be configured to be an X client to my FreeBSD UNIX server? Would someone
please point me to some documentation on how to set that up?

Hi,

I am using SFU Server on my WinXp(server) and using a VxWorks device
to nfs files to the server.

I am able to open and access the file that is uploaded by the vxwork
device on the server itself but when i try to access the uploaded-file
from another PC that is connected to the server by lan, it gives an
error of "ensure you have access or the file is not in-use"

I have shared out the NFS folder that host the uploaded-files in
server, to all on LAN, but when i tried to access the files inside
using explorer on another LAN PC, it gives the error!

the strange thing is that if i create a copy of the uploaded-file in
the server, i am able to access that copied-file from the LAN PC. Why
is that so? I believe its some permission thing but how do i track it?
Thanks.

I have quite the dilema getting UNM to work properly, but I think the
real problem is with Server for NFS Authentication. My problem is I
have added a new Linux server to my configuration and have mapped a
new uid/gid pair to UNM. However, when I try to access my NFS share
from the new linux server I get Permission Denied and in Windows I get
a mapping error in the event log.

I have:

1 x Windows 2003 server with SP2 (Not R2)
2 x Red Hat Linux servers, one is ES3 and the other is ES4

I have a common NIS domain and each computer is it's own master.

I created users and groups on both linux servers with matching uid/
gid. I created matching users and groups on the Windows server as
well. The ES3 server was pre-existing (over a year old) and the ES4
server was just added. The user and group native to the ES3 server
has been working on the windows side flawlessly.

Windows 2003 Server.
Running a Java program under SFU3.5.
Getting a return code of 128.
My research has indicated that either
a) The Java program is sending back the 128 which is higly unlikly or
b) The $? which I am using to evaluate the result of the Java program is
something that ksh under posix does not know how to handle, thus it's
giving me a 128.

Any ideas? Could SFU be getting confused and if so, is there a way that
I can see the real RC rather than what SFU thinks it is?

I did something like that once as well, but I did it by opening a
bi-directional pipe with cygwin's ssh.exe (I found that I didn't have to
install cygwin on my server, I could just drop ssh.exe and a few of it's
required dll's into a folder) and I used a key to handle authentication
(sounds a little more secure than telnet, but maybe not if you are on a
private network or something).

Hi all,

i´ve got a problem here which seemed to be unsolvable by myself alone.
We use an folder for central file repository. This folder is shared the
windows way and also using the NFS Server from W2k3 Server R2.
The complete access is working without any problem, so the user- and
groupmaps are setted up correctly.

Now the problem is, that all users should be able to work with all files
there.
This seems not to be possible, as the inheritance in the folder is not
replicated to the files created using the nfs access.

The only way to make the files accessible to everyone is to open an RDP from
the Fileserver, to go to the folder and to take over the ownership and to
reset all ACL´s.
i was thinking of an automated way of resetting the ACL´s using the icacls
tool, but this one is not able to reset the owner like the way which is
working.

Hi,

I searched the web for a good while, but I can't find a definitive
answer to this problem.

Given SFU 3.5 with the NFS client component installed. I'm mounting a
remote NFS share hosted by a Unix server to a local drive.

Running an Interix shell, symbolic links on the Unix share are
recognized as symbolic links and shown as such, like this:

$ ls -l file symlink
-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 36 Feb 8 11:04 file
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user group 4 Feb 8 11:05 symlink -> file

Doing the same in Cygwin, which is Win32 based, I can't see the symlink
for what it is, rather its file status is the file status of the target
file, like this:

$ ls -l file symlink
-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 36 Feb 8 11:04 file
-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 36 Feb 8 11:04 symlink

Hello

I have a Linux box running NFS with the following exports file
/usr/SHARES
xyz.local.net(rw,no_subtree_check,async,insecure,wdelay,no_root_squash)

What command do I need to mount this on my XP box with SFU 3.5, I keep
getting a syntax error.

mount -o pcnfs=localhost \\xyz.local.net\usr\SHARES J:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What am I doing wrong ??

Thanks,

Dave
