4258.0. "Upgraded personal share is seen as FAT ?" by VMSNET::ALLERTON (Episode d'Azur) Fri Apr 11 1997 13:33

    This is strange, and I was wondering if anyone has encountered anything
    like it before:
    
    -  User upgrades single PWV4 server in cluster (with directory services
       on cluster-mounted devices) to V5.0E (Alpha).  Upgrade proceeds
       normally
    
    -  Following upgrade, user on WNT 4.0/PW-32 client connects to his
       personal share.  Any files that exceed 8.3 naming convention aren't
       visible (The files in question, mostly command procedures, were
       VMS-generated).  LAN Man only security in place, permissions
       properly set, no ACLs on any of the files in the share directory
    
    -  User examines properties for network drive icon for personal share
       connection in NT (My Computer->Net Drive icon->General), and the
       File System type shows to be ***** FAT *****.
    
    -  The device in question is mounted with an assigned logical name (trans=
       (concealed, terminal)) that is the same as the device's volume
       label.
    
    I had him delete the share.  A net share command didn't list an autoshare
    for the cluster-shared disk, so I had him do $ net share /sync, and readd
    the share, mapped to the device's newly-acquired autshare reference.
    
    Properties for the associated share device volume from NT 4.0 then
    correctly showed up as ODS-2, and all files were visible.
