Table 10-3. UNIX and Red Hat Linux

Issue

Possible cause

Resolution

I cannot access

the NAS

Manager from

my Red Hat®

Linux client

system.

The NAS Manager is not supported by the Red Hat Linux operating system and does

not work with the NAS Manager.

Use a client system

running Windows to

connect to the NAS

Manager.

While updating

client access to

an NFS share,

the No Access

option is

displayed, but

the Root

option is not.

Only the All Machines category options are displayed during this update.

Add the appropriate

client systems, and

then select OK. After

you have added the

client system,

navigate back to the

NFS tab for this

share and select the

correct options for

the individual Client

Machines.

Every time I

try to obtain a

directory listing

from an NFS

client on the

root of a

system

volume, I get

an error

message, such

as Permission
Denied

.

The problem you are experiencing involves a System Volume Information

directory created by Microsoft Index Server. The NFS service does not have access

to this directory and returns an error message to the client when trying to list its

properties.

This issue only occurs when sharing the root of a drive letter.

Ignore this error.

The System

Volume

Information

directory is not used

by NFS clients or

your system by

default.

Sometimes I

am unable to

delete folders

that have been

used and that

are shared to a

client system

that is running

NFS.

This situation occurs with NFS discretionary access lists (DACLs) and inheritance.

When the folder to be shared is created, the only access control entry (ACE)

created by default is Everyone with Full Control. When an NFS client creates a

directory or a file in this directory (mounted share), Services for UNIX® (SFU)

creates a new DACL that replaces the inherited Everyone with Full Control ACE.

This DACL contains an Everyone ACE with the appropriate UNIX file creation access

and may contain two other ACEs for the mapped user and group. If this happens,

the administrator of the client system that is running Windows cannot delete the file

or directory unless that administrator takes ownership through the client system

that is running Windows and changes the access.

As the administrator,

use a client system

running Windows to

take ownership and

change the access to

allow yourself to

delete the share

folders.

When you delete the

NFS share folders,

ensure that there are

no open file handles

for the share. If you

are unsure, delete

the share, and then

restart NFS.

When updating

the client

system's

access to an

NFS share, the

All Machines

client group is

reset from the

No Access

access type to

Read-Write

access.

The NAS Manager might reset the All Machines client system's group to Read-

Write when the client systems do not have read-only or read-write access.

Add a client system

that has read-write

or read-only access,

and then set the All

Machines client

system group to No

Access.

My NAS

system is

NFS write-back cache is disabled.

If your system is not

part of a cluster, you
