-
- The purpose of the MW-TEST program is to show you how an unowned file can
- effect your network. MW-TEST will create a user, then a file, change the
- owner of the file to the new user, then delete the user (causing the file
- to be "unowned"), and then start writing to the file.
-
- When the file hits the end of it's sector, an error will occur. This error
- is usually reported as a DISK FULL error by applications.
-
- This problem can be most hazardous to servers which use databases. If a
- database becomes "unowned", writes to that file may be aborted. This can
- cause such problems as data loss or file corruption. (Not to mention some
- angry users!)
-
- To use the MW-TEST program you must:
-
- a) Login as a SUPERVISOR or equivalent user
-
- b) Change to a network drive
-
- c) Execute the MW-TEST program
-
-
- By using Dana Consultant's MWATCH NLM product you can protect yourself from
- unowned files on your network. Refer to the MWATCH documentation for more
- information.
