macintosh >> Browsing Macintosh Volumes

by T3dlbiBQaGlsbGlwcw » Thu, 23 Sep 2004 18:17:12 GMT

I have an annoying issue with File Services for Macintosh. We have several
Mac volumes accessible from a Win2k3 server. After a server re-boot, or a
restart of the file services for Macintosh the volumes do not show in the
chooser and cannot be mounted. This affects Macintosh clients on OS 8, 9 &
10. Also once the volumes are finally visible in the chooser (about 30
minutes) changes made to the shares on Win clients are not reflected on the
Macs.

I think this is connected to the indexing of the volume for Macintosh
clients but I can't find a way around this. I've tried increasing the
pagepool size and the server has plenty of resources but I'm still getting
un-aceptable performance on the volumes. Any ideas?

The Macfile service creates and maintains an index map of data forks to
resources forks per volume shared. Starting and stopping the services
causes this behavior as you've noted as does index file corruption or server
reboots. The delay you are seeing is this index being created. Individual
shared volumes are not available to Macintosh clients until this index is
completed. The more files you have the longer this indexing will take.
This process is not something you can optimize further by changing system
settings.

4. Volume: Macintosh HD and Alias = Hidden files 

Sorry for the cryptic title, hard to explain the problem in a few short words.

I seem to have ended up with a folder in my (hidden) Volumes folder called
"Macintosh HD" and an alias called "Macintosh HD 1" which targets my
startup disk "Macintosh HD". 

I assume this is abnormal and it is causing some problems with files
ending up in the "Macintosh HD" folder which appears to have an almost
mirrored directory structure to the actual HD volume - but all invisible. 

I recall renaming my HD a couple of months back but then named it back to
the default. Could this have resulted in this weird alias setup and the
invisble duplicate?

Should it be fixed? Can it be fixed? How?

Ta.

6. Volume Control - master volume doesn't change volume level 

I have an HP Digital Entertainment Center Z540 and am running Windows XP 
Media Edition and none of the Volume Controls will actually adjust the volume 
coming out of the speakers.  That being said, the controls will adjust the 
slider on the "Master Volume"  bar, but that doesn't change the volume.  The 
only way to change the volume is to move the "Wave" slider, which the 
keyboard and remote short cut key's won't change.

I am connected to an external amplifier through a digital fibre optic cable, 
if that helps. 

Is it a bug, a glitch or what?
