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

an NFS client.

This is a situation that 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 Windows client cannot delete the

file or directory unless that administrator takes ownership through the Windows

system and changes the access.

As the

administrator, use a

Windows client

system 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

client 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 group to Read-Write

when there are no clients that have read-only or read-write access.

Add a client that

has read-write or

read-only access,

and then set the

All Machines client

group to No

Access.

Table 8-7. Macintosh and AppleTalk

Issue

Possible cause

Resolution

I am getting event errors for Services

for Macintosh.

Services for Macintosh are bound to the onboard

network interface controller (NIC) by default. If this

NIC has been disabled, binding errors occur.

Bind the AppleTalk protocol

to an enabled NIC. See

"AppleTalk Protocol

Adapter Binding" in

"Advanced Features."

From a Macintosh client, users cannot

modify or delete a file that a Windows

client has accessed.

The time between clients and the system is not

properly synchronized.

Make sure that clients

have their time

synchronized to within

10 minutes of the time

zone.

I have rebooted my NAS system from

a Macintosh client. Several minutes

have passed and my NAS system has

not rebooted or the page has not

refreshed.

The most likely cause is that the NAS system has

come back online, but the client screen has not

refreshed because the PowerVault NAS Manager

does not automatically refresh the screen when the

NAS system has finished rebooting.

Close Internet Explorer,

and then reconnect to the

NAS Manager. The NAS

system should behave

normally.

From a Macintosh client, I cannot

connect to the administration part of

the PowerVault NAS Manager by using

the Administer This Appliance link

on the HTTP Shares page.

The internally generated certificate is not supported

by Internet Explorer for Macintosh.

You can administer the

NAS system by using the

address
http://servername :1278

;

however, this is a

nonsecure link.

File Services for Macintosh can not establish
