NOVELL TECHNICAL INFORMATION DOCUMENT TITLE: NetWare for Macintosh 3.12 Patch DOCUMENT ID: TID350302 DOCUMENT REVISION: D DATE: 30JAN95 ALERT STATUS: Yellow INFORMATION TYPE: Symptom Solution README FOR: AFP11.EXE NOVELL PRODUCT and VERSION: NetWare for Macintosh 3.12 ABSTRACT: NetWare for Macintosh supports volumes larger than two Gigabytes. For these large volumes, the Macintosh Finder will show a maximum of 1,000 Megabytes available. However, the actual amount of available disk space may be considerably greater. (Note: This is a limitation of the Apple Macintosh operating system, and not a problem with NetWare for Macintosh.) The file AFP11.EXE contains the AFP patch version 3.12f. Version 3.12f of AFP solves the following problems. ----------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER THE ORIGIN OF THIS INFORMATION MAY BE INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL TO NOVELL.

After the first user receives the -1072 error then all Macintosh users will receive the same error message during login and the file server utilization will increase to 50%-65%. Through MONITOR.NLM under Connection Information, the user names show up as logged in, but cannot be deleted. After multiple login attempts the Macintosh workstation may hang during login. Loading MONITOR.NLM may cause the file server to ABEND. Unloading AFP may cause the file server to hang. When mounting a volume larger than 4GB on the desktop, the Macintosh Finder may incorrectly show the available disk space as something less than 1GB. You cannot copy files that are larger than the reported available disk space. The series of calculations in AFP, that determine the number of bytes available on a volume, produced erroneous results. This problem occurred when the size of the result was over 4GB. When a locked file is moved to the trash, the client and server hang (running process AFP). NetWare Operating System 3.11 has a bug regarding moving, renaming, and deleting files with a locked stream. This particular problem occurs when running NetWare for Macintosh 3.12 on a file server with the NetWare 3.11 Operating System. Servers with large amounts of RAM suffer GPPEs or ABENDs in process AFP. The ABEND will read "ABEND: Check memory found contiguous fragments not pointing to each other." There is a problem with similar volume alias names the wrong volume would mount or server would ABEND. SOLUTION Apply the AFP11 patch to AFP.NLM v3.12a.
