FW: Cannot delete folder in volume.
by Maglinger, Paul 08 Feb '02

08 Feb '02

My thanks to all "toasters" out there that responded. Of all, Rahul was closest. Before we set up an actual volume and "home directory", we had created some standard shared folders for testing. Apparently it's not a good idea when you have a folder shared out as \\bass\username and are using cifs.home_dir at the same time (which effectively creates a share by the same name). I removed the share (created in Server Manager) and was able to delete either folder. What was funny is that it seemed that the NT share(in Server Manager) took precedence over the cifs.home_dir share. In other words, going through Network Neighborhood would bring up the folders in the old share rather than those in the home directory share. Thanks again... -----Original Message----- From: Kumar, Rahul [mailto:Rahul.Kumar@sdrc.com] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 11:17 To: Maglinger, Paul Subject: RE: Cannot delete folder in volume. Hi Paul, If this is a explicit CIFS share then you have to unshare this shared folder from the Server manager and then delete it. Let me know if this helps.

I can't delete a folder in one of my volumes. I'm trying to delete it from Windows Explorer and I get an error that, "Cannot remove folder blahblah. There has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use." I have checked the CIFS sessions and check Server Manager, and neither one of these shows that it is in use. Any thoughts (short of stopping and re-starting CIFS) on how I can free this up to delete it? Thanks! Remember, you are unique... just like everyone else!

by Edward Lee 08 Feb '02

I am currently running ONTap version 6.1R1P1 Is there any practical reason for me to upgrade to version 6.1.2? Does 6.1.2 provide any enchnacements that would increase performance or provide added functionality?

cifs.homedir and home folder setting for users
by Colin Eric Johnson 07 Feb '02

07 Feb '02

I'm working on moving our users to a netapp filer and I am trying to use the cifs.homedir option. My understanding is that this should allow the user to mount \\filer\username as a cifs share even though their home directory is really on something like \\filer\somedirectory\username I can make this work just fine if I do this with my own account, as a domain admin. If I try to do this with any other users account (say a test user) or as Administrator (and attempt to change my own account) I get an error from Active Directory that reads "The home folder could not be created because: The network name cannot be found." Any clues based on what I have said to point at what I am doing wrong? What else I might want to look at? -- Colin E. Johnson | colinj(a)ccs.neu.edu Harming only the humorless since 1967

Error 823 from SQL reading from filer
by Maglinger, Paul 07 Feb '02

07 Feb '02

I have another situation which I thought I corrected, but apparent it reared it's ugly head again. We're storing a SQL database on one of the volumes of our 740 filer. Every now and again, we'll get a Run-time error (Microsoft)(ODBC SQL Server Driver) Communication link failure. Going into the event viewer we find "Error 823, Severity 24, State:1 I/O error 240 (The session was cancelled.) detected during the read of BUF pointer blah blah blah, file= (the file located on the shared drive mapped to the filer). Any DB people out there run into this? Remember, you are unique... just like everyone else! Paul Maglinger, A+, CA, CET, MCSE Systems Administrator Shoe Carnival Inc.

Re: /etc/quota questions
by Joan Alter 07 Feb '02

1. You can only specify one domain name on the QUOTA_TARGET_DOMAIN directive. That domain name is prepended the the user names in the following entries in the /etc/quotas file. until another QUOTA_TARGET_DOMAIN directive is encountered. So: QUOTA_TARGET_DOMAIN domain1 joe user 10M - sue user 20M - QUOTA_TARGET_DOMAIN domain2 bob user 20M - ann user 30M - is equivalent to: domain1\joe user 10M - domain1\sue user 20M - domain2\bob user 20M - domain2\ann user 30M - 2. We do not support quotas on arbitrary directories, only on qtrees. Joan Alter At 10:50 AM 2/7/02 , you wrote: > > 1.

root access and multi-homed hosts
by neil lehrer 07 Feb '02

07 Feb '02

if you have hosts with multiple interfaces and access can come thru any of them, do you have to have an entry for each interface in the exports file? /vol/vol0/home -root=host1-e0:host2-e0 /vol/vol0/home -root=host1-e1:host2-e1 etc... host1 and host2 in dns has multiple entries. the root restriction matches the ip num of the host trying to mount to the ip num of the host shown in the exports file? otherwise do you show up as nobody, nogroup? thanks. --

[solution]: Sendmail .forward & filer home directories - "unsafe/ world-writea ble"!?
by Surlow, Jim 07 Feb '02

07 Feb '02

Thanks everyone for your comments. We discovered that the parent directory of the home directories were unsafe. So, it was a bit of sendmail's error message not being descriptive enough (implying that it was the user's home directory as opposed to any directory in the tree). We had mounted some space from another unix box and saw that sendmail behaved, so that why we thought it was filer related. When we migrated the users over to the filer, we must have started with bad perms on the parent directory. -----Original Message----- From: Surlow, Jim [mailto:surlow@lucent.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 5:19 PM To: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Subject: Sendmail .forward & filer home directories - "unsafe/world-writea ble"!? Filer Admins, We have unix home directories on our filer. We just noticed today that sendmail reports that the .forward files are in a "World writable directory" and that the user directory is "unsafe directory path, marked unsafe". (These are sendmail errors - I'm at LogLevel=99 for sendmail). Then the mail is delivered locally to the box as opposed to forwarded. Now, my directories are not world writeable! So, I'm wondering what permissions aren't being read correctly. I can fix sendmail by changing the sendmail.cf to include "DontBlameSendmail=forwardfileinunsafedirpath", but am interested in the underlying issues here. We are running different versions of sendmail. The host that I've been testing on is running 8.11.6 Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim Surlow Billing & Customer Care Lucent Technologies
