- SUBJECT : VAPS and volume names being corrupted.
- FYI # : 042390dl
- DATE : April 16, 1990
- OS VERSION : 2.15
- REVISION : C
- SHELL VERSION : N/A
-
- GENERAL INFORMATION : Customers are seeing the volume name being
- corrupted when the PSERVER.VAP is loaded. This is not just
- limited to PSERVER. It has been seen when BTRIEVE is loaded.
-
- PROBLEM : The scenario is difficult to explain but
- the just of the problem is the volume name is being corrupted.
- In my tests this only occurred when the volume name was exactly 6
- characters in length. It didn't matter what the volume name was,
- whether there were numbers before letters, etc.
-
- SOLUTION : By decreasing or increasing the length of
- volume name by one character the problem went away. For example;
- if the volume name was ABCDEF by changing the name to ABCDE or
- ABCDEFG the problem would go away. I know this sounds strange,
- but in my tests this was the temporary solution.
-
- COMMENTS (Optional) : The corrupted volume name seemed to show
- itself on every other volume, when multiple volumes were present
- and each volume name consisted on 6 characters. I only tested
- 2.15C so the problem could show up in other OS revs.
