When a directory cache buffer needs to be allocated, the
AllocateDirectoryBuffer procedure examines a maximum of the
10 oldest buffers on the LRU list. The first available
buffer that is sufficiently aged is used. If none of the 10
buffers is old enough, a new directory cache buffer is
allocated (assuming memory is available).

AUDNSPFX NLM
============
SYMPTOM:
The auditing code only handles name changes for non-DOS name
spaces. If some other change (in this case it was a modify
directory entry) occurs the audit code jumps to its generic
error path which assumes certain local variables will be
initialized. Since they are not various things may occur
(an ABEND in this case) based upon what is in the
un-initialized variables. By initializing these variables at
procedure entry, the problem is fixed.

CLRDIRFX NLM
============
SYMPTOM:
Wrote patch ClrDirFx.NLM (Clear Directory Fix) which fixes a
bug in 4.10 where a process which has the volume semaphore
and is spinning waiting in ClearVolumeDirectoryHandles
causes the process which has the active DirectoryHandles to
block. The system then stops because of the deadlock. A
counter is incremented instead of making the call to clear
the handles, and then later if the counter is non-zero we
release the volume lock and make the call, after which we
require the lock and continue on.

COMABRFX NLM
============
SYMPTOM:
The server hangs when decompressing a file with low memory
or when the volume is full. While a client tries to
decompress a file, the file will remain in an opened state
preventing renames, erases and other opens.
While doing a server install upgrade auditing was turned on.
When the install got to a point where it was trying to open
an auditing log file, it tried to decompress the file, but
was unable to due to no available memory on the server. The
install process hung on a "Please wait" screen. This is a
problem with initial aborting of the decompression. The
error would only occur for connection 0, since an NCP
request would probably not be fast enough to raise the
condition within the small window of opportunity for it to
occur.

============
SYMPTOM:
Global MHS uses transactional files which never get
decompressed.
Global MHS uses a file called file.cnt when processing mail
which is a transactional file. If this file gets
compressed, Global MHS can no longer function because it
needs to access file.cnt and it never gets decompressed.
FIXED a problem that MHS was having on V4.10. If a file was
compressed and being opened and the decompression aborted,
the last accessed date on the file was not being updated,
causing the file to never be decompressed.

DFSCCHFX NLM
============
SYMPTOM:
A problem occurs when a DFS file size is increased and the
newly acquired block was recovered from a recently deleted
file still being represented in the NetWare disk cache and
is marked as dirty (or needs to be written to disk), and
the cache block is written to by DFS before the cache
subsystem performs it's periodic update. The effect is that
if the newly expanded DFS file area is written to and then
read back, the read data will not match the written data.
Opening a file in DFS mode evacuates that file from NetWare
cache. New disk blocks are acquired as the DFS file size is
increased. New disk blocks are acquired from a list of free
blocks. The disk blocks on the free block list either never
been assigned to any file, or they are recovered from deleted
files. Blocks from recently deleted files may still be
represented in cache.
SOLUTION:
This has been fixed by having DFS verify that newly acquired
blocks, obtained while expanding a file, are evacuated from
the NetWare disk cache.
SYMPTOM:
A problem occurs when a DFS file size is increased and
written to in a non-sequential mode, causing the
formation of a sparse file. The effect is that data
previously written to the to the DFS file might be
zeroed out by subsequent writes to adjacent blocks.
It is possible write to a file in DFS mode in a manner
that causes the file to become a NetWare sparse file
(ether by creating a new file or extending an existing
file). As a security measure, the newly acquired disk
blocks are zeroed out before use.
SOLUTION:
This problem has been fixed by changing the method of
zeroing out the newly acquired disk blocks.
**********************************************************
Technology Background:
**********************************************************
NetWare Disk Caching Subsystem Description
NetWare's disk caching subsystem technology decreases
data access time for frequently accessed disk data. The
technology involves storing a representation of disk in the
(RAM) memory of the NetWare file server.
When a client reads and writes files that are stored on a
NetWare file server, the data does not interface directly
with the server's disk storage hardware, it is accessed in
the file server's memory cache (RAM). NetWare periodically
updates the disk storage hardware as needed.
NetWare Direct File System
The Direct File System (DFS) allows an application to
bypass the NetWare Disk Cache and Transaction Tracking Systems.
DFS is necessary for some database applications that provide
their own caching and transaction tracking facilities.
Backup applications often access large amounts of data
not being accessed by other applications. If these accesses
are made through the cache, the cache becomes non-relevant
for all other accesses, and general server performance
suffers from other users.
Some utilities may also require the ability to specify
exactly where files are placed, so that volumes can be
de-fragmented and optimal file access can be made.
NetWare does not allow a file to be opened in both the
cache and DFS modes simultaneously. DFS file open
requests can only be made by an NLM application, and
fails if the specified file is already open by any
other (NLM or NetWare client) entity. While a
particular file is opened in DFS mode, NetWare will
deny all other open requests (for both DFS and cache
modes) for that file.
Files opened in DFS mode must not have any portion
represented in NetWare cache. Therefore, as the file
is opened in DFS mode, NetWare searches all cache for
blocks that belong to the file. If a cache block
belonging to the file being opened is encountered,
the cache block content is written to the server's
disk storage hardware (if required), and the cache
block is disassociated from the file being opened.
This process may take considerable time, depending
on the size of the file being opened in DFS mode, and
the total number of cache blocks in server RAM.
NetWare Sparse Files
The NetWare file system allows the creation of what
Novell calls "sparse files." A sparse file is a file
which has "holes" or areas which have not been yet
been written to. A sparse file is formed by opening
a new file writing to it non-sequentially.
An example of a sparse file is one where the file is
opened, and data is written to the file starting at
offset 1000 and then closing the file. In this state,
the file offsets 1 through 999 have not been written
to and represents a hole in the data of the file. If
an attempt is made to read from offset 1 through 999,
NetWare returns zeros as the data.
NetWare only allocates disk blocks to portions of a
sparse file that have been written to. NetWare does
not allocate disk blocks to a sparse file's holes.

DFSSETFX NLM
============
SYMPTOM:
A problem occurs when a DFS file size is increased and the
newly acquired block was recovered from a recently deleted
file still being represented in the NetWare disk cache and
is marked as dirty (or needs to be written to disk), and
the cache block is written to by DFS before the cache
subsystem performs it's periodic update. The effect is that
if the newly expanded DFS file area is written to and then
read back, the read data will not match the written data.
Opening a file in DFS mode evacuates that file from NetWare
cache. New disk blocks are acquired as the DFS file size is
increased. New disk blocks are acquired from a list of free
blocks. The disk blocks on the free block list either never
been assigned to any file, or they are recovered from deleted
files. Blocks from recently deleted files may still be
represented in cache.
SOLUTION:
This has been fixed by having DFS verify that newly acquired
blocks, obtained while expanding a file, are evacuated from
the NetWare disk cache.
SYMPTOM:
A problem occurs when a DFS file size is increased and
written to in a non-sequential mode, causing the
formation of a sparse file. The effect is that data
previously written to the to the DFS file might be
zeroed out by subsequent writes to adjacent blocks.
It is possible write to a file in DFS mode in a manner
that causes the file to become a NetWare sparse file
(ether by creating a new file or extending an existing
file). As a security measure, the newly acquired disk
blocks are zeroed out before use.
SOLUTION:
This problem has been fixed by changing the method of
zeroing out the newly acquired disk blocks.
**********************************************************
Technology Background:
**********************************************************
NetWare Disk Caching Subsystem Description
NetWare's disk caching subsystem technology decreases
data access time for frequently accessed disk data. The
technology involves storing a representation of disk in the
(RAM) memory of the NetWare file server.
When a client reads and writes files that are stored on a
NetWare file server, the data does not interface directly
with the server's disk storage hardware, it is accessed in
the file server's memory cache (RAM). NetWare periodically
updates the disk storage hardware as needed.
NetWare Direct File System
The Direct File System (DFS) allows an application to
bypass the NetWare Disk Cache and Transaction Tracking Systems.
DFS is necessary for some database applications that provide
their own caching and transaction tracking facilities.
Backup applications often access large amounts of data
not being accessed by other applications. If these accesses
are made through the cache, the cache becomes non-relevant
for all other accesses, and general server performance
suffers from other users.
Some utilities may also require the ability to specify
exactly where files are placed, so that volumes can be
de-fragmented and optimal file access can be made.
NetWare does not allow a file to be opened in both the
cache and DFS modes simultaneously. DFS file open
requests can only be made by an NLM application, and
fails if the specified file is already open by any
other (NLM or NetWare client) entity. While a
particular file is opened in DFS mode, NetWare will
deny all other open requests (for both DFS and cache
modes) for that file.
Files opened in DFS mode must not have any portion
represented in NetWare cache. Therefore, as the file
is opened in DFS mode, NetWare searches all cache for
blocks that belong to the file. If a cache block
belonging to the file being opened is encountered,
the cache block content is written to the server's
disk storage hardware (if required), and the cache
block is disassociated from the file being opened.
This process may take considerable time, depending
on the size of the file being opened in DFS mode, and
the total number of cache blocks in server RAM.
NetWare Sparse Files
The NetWare file system allows the creation of what
Novell calls "sparse files." A sparse file is a file
which has "holes" or areas which have not been yet
been written to. A sparse file is formed by opening
a new file writing to it non-sequentially.
An example of a sparse file is one where the file is
opened, and data is written to the file starting at
offset 1000 and then closing the file. In this state,
the file offsets 1 through 999 have not been written
to and represents a hole in the data of the file. If
an attempt is made to read from offset 1 through 999,
NetWare returns zeros as the data.
NetWare only allocates disk blocks to portions of a
sparse file that have been written to. NetWare does
not allocate disk blocks to a sparse file's holes.

multiplied by 4 to the VolumeMappingTableSize to see if the
volume number was in a valid range. These places should
just compare the volume number to VolumeMappingTableSize
directly to make this determination.

LOADER EXE
============
SYMPTOM:
1) FIXED the defaultGlobalDataPDE so that the accessed bit
will always be set. This fixes the problem where it does a
TLB flush on every interrupt (VERY EXPENSIVE - over 1,000
clocks each on a pentium)
2) FIXED the HighResolutionTimer and the
SuperHighResolutionTimer so that they use the RDTSC
instruction if the CPU supports it and then converts the
result to the desired granularity. This gets the clock
counter from the CPU instead of going out on the bus to the
external timer chip.
3) ADDED support for using the new BIOS call int 15 sub
function E8 for memory detection on PCI machines and other
ISA machines that have more that 64 Meg of memory.
4) FIXED the Pentium (TM) check code so that
interrupts are disabled.
5) FIXED the machine check exception so that it will be
enabled at a later point. It is being turned on before
installing the exception handler while the operating system
is still in real mode. Also added a new command line
parameter "-m" which will cause the OS to not turn on the
machine check enable bit in CR4. This used to cause the
machines to hang or reboot. Now they will at least get the
exception message, and they can disable it by using the new
"-m" command line option.
6) FIXED LDOSWrite so that it will do a movsd followed by
a movsb. This should help the performance of coredumps.
7) FIXED the machine check exception handling so that now
it will actually turn on the exception and see if a
exception is returned immediately, if it does return a
exception, it is turned off and left off - so it will auto
detect whether or not the machine can support having it on.
The '-m' command line option is still supported.
8) ADDED a new table '_CPR' for CPR so that a loader can
be linked to a specific version of the OS. Also linked a
record onto the server's internal public list that will
point to the loader's public list so that CPR can more
easily patch the loader.
9) FIXED the reprogramming of the PIC so that we check for
edge sensitive micro-channel machines.
10) FIXED problems with GetSharedMemoryLinearAddress where
it was having problems dealing with shared memory addresses
above 0xC8000000 - note that this is used by
RegisterHardwareOptions which many LAN drivers call. The
problems are: 1 - not handling multiple regions in the same
IOConfig structure - it would return overlapping logical
addresses. 2 - The logical address it would return would
always be 4K aligned even if the physical address wasn't.
And 3 - If the region crossed N number of pages, but the
size rounded up to the nearest page size was (N - 1) pages,
it would not reserve enough space - sometimes causing a page
fault and always not reserving enough space.
11) ADDED support for calling through the PSM when a
spurious interrupt is returned to the EIO on the APIC or
whatever hardware may be tied into the PSM interface.
12) CHANGED the real mode interface so that it doesn't rely
on the limit to GS being preserved while we are in real
mode. Note that it was a problem when running on machines
that were also running NIOS.
13) ADDED the new DoProtectedModeBIOSCall to the loader for
use by ODI with new PCI device drivers. This API allows a
driver to make protected mode calls to the BIOS.
14) CHANGED the makefile so that it will make a DOSV version
JLOADER.EXE as well as the standard version LOADER.EXE.
15) Address Year 2000 Date issue so that the date is not
rolled back to 1984..
16) Fixed the problem with MSEngines Produced different Outputs
on a SFT 3 4.10 server. Added the TaskSwitch Start and Stop
function.
Added:
StartTaskSwitchingInterrupts
StopTaskSwitchingInturrupts

LSLTIMFX NLM
============
SYMPTOM:
Binding IP causes deadlock detected in spin_lock. The
problem is due to the adapter making use of the
MSMRescheduleLast call (illegally) when adding a multicast
address. It makes this call with the mutex already held by
the MSM Driver Control code. The routine
LSLSMPTimerProcedure runs and attempts to acquire the Mutex
for the adapter thus causing dead-lock.

LOADER.EXE replaces the LOADER in both Native NetWare 4.10
as well as NetWare v4.10 SFT III. LOADER.EXE is a STATIC
patch and should only be applied ONCE per SERVER.EXE or
MSERVER.EXE. There are two utilities that will replace the
LOADER (LSWAP.EXE or LSWAP.NLM). Use LSWAP.EXE if the
server is down.. Use LSWAP.NLM if the server is up and
running. To make LOADER.EXE active after running LSWAP.NLM,
the server must be DOWNed , EXIT, and run SERVER.EXE.
Both LSWAP.EXE and LSWAP.NLM use the same cammandline
options. First option specifies the location to LOADER.EXE.

MAPCONFX NLM
============
SYMPTOM:
MapConnectionToInternetAddress returns garbage for
connection zero. (Causes outputs different on SFT3)
Recreated by calling MapConnectionToInternetAddress (NCP
23,19) with connection 0. Fixed by initializing the address
buffer to zero (this fixes the potential problem that would
occur if the transport address length is less than 12 bytes
long). Also, fixed the connection zero initialization code
so that it fills out the transport address information.

MIGFREFX NLM
============
SYMPTOM:
Using HCSS, thousands of files were created on a migration
enabled volume, then HCSS migrated them to a jukebox as
expected. This migration allocated extended directory space
( as reported by SERVMAN on the Volume Information screen )
for each migrated file. These migrated files were then
demigrated and read, but not modified. When HCSS
"remigrated" these unchanged files, more extended directory
space was allocated, even though there was already an entry
for the file. The files were then deleted and new files
with the same names were created, and the extended directory
space continued to grow instead of re-using freed extended
directory space. This fills the volume up much quicker than
necessary, especially when large numbers of active files are
on the volume. If the volume is dismounted and remounted,
the extended directory space is shrunk, but this needs to be
done more frequently since most customers would probably
prefer not to have to dismount/remount volumes that are in
use.

NSWILDFX NLM
============
SYMPTOM:
Wildcards on Case87-08 for OS2 name space don't work. Tried
escape chars and augmented chars and various combinations of
each, none seem to work. The OS/2 client and NT client both
use findfirst/findnext and delete each file explicitly to
work around the problem.

OpenCallBack has put a service process to sleep waiting for
the client to send the call back message that will wake this
process up. However, if all of the service processes are in
use, and the client is powered off (thus it will never
respond) the call back timeout will not occur because the
timeout was scheduled as a blockable AES event which must
wait for a free service process. Since the timeout
procedure does not get blocked, there is no reason why it
should be scheduled as a blockable AES event.

PBOUTWFX NLM
============
SYMPTOM:
When the client sends an EOB, the server acks the current burst
and then cleans up - if it gets another burst from the client
before it finishes its housework, the server just throws the
burst away rather than sending a server busy. This causes the
client to send a system packet. After a few of these the client
starts putting delays in the sends and performance starts
degrading.

PBWRITFX NLM
============
SYMPTOM:
A packet was passed to case103 in the packet burst code
that had FSDataFragmentLength in the header set to 0. This
caused the OS to try to read data for a negative amount of
length when the length had the header size subtracted. This
caused the server to read past the end of memory and page
fault.

This README file accompanies PM410.NLM (patch manager for
NetWare V4.10).
PM410.NLM is the Patch Manager which tracks and manages all
official patches for NetWare V4.10 including SFT3.
Patches for NetWare V4.10 consist of three types:
DYNAMIC -- Dynamic patches are implemented as NLM files that
can be loaded/unloaded while the server is running.
Unloading a dynamic patch will restore the Operating System
to its original "un-patched" state.
SEMI-STATIC -- Semi-static patches can also be loaded while
the server is running, but they cannot be unloaded. It is
not possible to undo the effects of a semi-static patch
without first downing the server and bringing it back up
without loading the semi-static patch.
STATIC -- a static patch is a DOS executable program that
modifies the SERVER.EXE file. This type of patch is applied
once and its effects are permanent. It is suggested that a
backup of the original SERVER.EXE file be made before
applying a static patch. (In other words, do not patch the
SERVER.EXE on your original distribution diskette!)
Dynamic and semi-static patches modify the Operating System
in memory, not on the disk. This means that dynamic and
semi-static patches must be loaded each time the Operating
System is brought up in order for any 'fixes' to take
effect. It is recommended that the command "LOAD <patch>" be
placed in the file servers' AUTOEXEC.NCF file to ensure that
the patch is always in effect as soon as the server is
brought up.
In order to see which patches are currently loaded on the
system, type "PATCHES" at the file server command line. The
patches will then be grouped and displayed according to
their type (i.e. - STATIC, SEMI-STATIC, or DYNAMIC). Typing
"MODULES" at the server console will show which dynamic
patches have been loaded, but will not show semi-static or
static patches.
The Patch Manager (PM410.NLM) must be loaded before any
dynamic or semi-static=patches can be loaded. If PM410.NLM
is not already loaded, the <patch>.NLM will attempt to
locate PM410.NLM and, if found, will load it automatically.
PM410.NLM only needs to be loaded once; all NLM patches can
then be loaded. PM410.NLM cannot be unloaded until all
patches that rely on it are first unloaded.

SHRRAMFX NLM
============
SYMPTOM:
With many of the new ATM cards coming out, the one megabyte
provided by the server will not be sufficient. Some of these
new cards will need the ability to have 4 to 16 megabytes of
shared memory.
Now the number of Memory Mapped paragraphs for a LAN adapter
can be the number of pages if the proper bit is set in the
shared flags. This allows ATM and other memory hungry
adapters to allocate very large mapped (shared) memory
address ranges.

SHRRESFX NLM
============
SYMPTOM:
RegisterHardwareOptions handles shared resource incorrectly
(or not at all).
When a driver shares resources, RegisterHardwareOptions
correctly assigns the shared resource when the first driver
registers them.
This problem has proven more serious, as users have made
minor mis-configuration on one WAN port, causing that port
to be prematurely deregistered.

WATDOGFX NLM
============
SYMPTOM:
Watchdog logouts caused by watchdog packets set to type
other than 0 or 4.
A trace shows that watchdog packets have the packet type
filled in with random numbers. The packet type should be
filled in with 0 or 4. All seems to work fine until a
packet type 5 happens to be used, then watchdog breaks.
From the trace, the workstation responds with Y to the
watchdog query but the server doesn't pick that up...one
minute later, the server is querying again. The packet type
the file server uses for watchdog is the same the entire
time it is up but it can change every time the server is
downed and brought back up.
