- Subject: Running a Channel 3 DCB in 33MHz Machines
- Date: December 28, 1990
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
-
- GENERAL
- INFORMATION: Channel 3 DCB and 33MHz file server.
- NetWare 386 v3.0 with the latest v3.0 DCB drivers.
-
- PROBLEM: A customer reported the following two problems:
-
- 1) When a user copies files to a volume on the drive
- attached to a channel 3 DCB in 33MHz file servers, the
- workstation gets write errors and eventually the drive is
- dismounted by NetWare. That volume loses all its data.
-
- They moved everything to a 16MHz file server and the system
- is working fine.
-
- 2) Set up a volume for Macintosh nodes. When a user who
- does NOT have rights to a directory tries to copy a file to
- that particular folder, the file server goes down.
-
- SOLUTION: 1) This problem was set up in the lab using NetWare 386 v3.1
- instead of v3.0. A batch file was run overnight that copied
- 10MB files back and forth and no errors were encountered.
-
- 2) This problem was also set up using NetWare 386 v3.1.
- When copying a file to a directory that the user had no
- rights in, the user got an error stating that they had no
- rights to copy files to that directory. The file server did
- not crash.
-
- Any customer who is getting these problems should upgrade to
- v3.1.
-
- (X) This information was verified in the lab.
