4252.0. "Pathworks Diskquota" by UTRTSC::HARLE () Tue Apr 08 1997 11:14

A user reported the following:

Pathworks/VMS 430D, diskquota enabled. WfW 3.11 clients.

When a WfW3.11 user exceeds the diskquotum, no message is 
reported and the pc will hang.

When Pathworks/VMS 3x0C was still in use, a WfW 3.11 user
would get an error message, and the pc would continue not
hang.

Is this a known problem in 430D ?

    Without an IRIS trace, it will be difficult to verify what is happening
    here.  There were no changes that I'm aware of that would cause this
    type of behavior change.  Please acquire a trace and escalate.  We'll
    investigate.

W'll send somebody on-site to make an IRIS trace.

I will report back end of next week (april-18th).

4252.3It's a MS problemCOPHK::copvm5.dmo.dec.com::cop02::jesperFri Apr 11 1997 06:2729

	This is a MS problem. And they dont want to fix it.

	You can reproduce it if:

	You are out of disk quota

	AND

	you try to create a file in filemanager on the
	share where you are out of quota.

	It is best reproduced if EMM386 are used too. Then you
	will get an EMM386 error.

	The real problem is that MS Windows 3.1/3.11 dont expect
	(and cant handle) a status of 'no disk quota' in certain 	
	situations, like file create.

	The reason it works in 5.0c and not in 5.0D-ECOxxx, is that
	the SMB specs was not followed to the last detail in 5.0C,
	but is in 5.0D.

	This problem has both been IPMT'ed and escalated to Microsoft
	Premiun Support. (cant remember the IPMT #).
	Microsoft accepted it as their problem, but no fix....

We have made an IRIS trace and our first impression is
there is a wrong error code in the error message from
the server (hardware error).

We will further investigate and possibly IPMT when the
problem is more clearly determined.

4252.5how to get a workaround?EVTAI1::ncd.evt.dec.com::VAN_DER_VEENvanderveenMon May 05 1997 05:216
Hello,
	We also have customers that have experienced this problem since they upgraded to 5.0d 
ECO3 or higher and wish a solution or workaround. As it appears difficult to justify an IPMT 
with severity level 2, I'd like to know if there's any sense in entering an IPMT lvl 3.

Just for the record, I want to let you know the
following.

My collegue Paul Bakker reported the problem to
Engineering. The CFS number is 50750. It is 
definite a MicroSoft problem, only workaround
is to use the Windows for Workgroups redir, not 
the Microsoft DOS enhanced redir.
