Files saved to NFS share by MS word cause finder to loose sync w/filesystem

I am posting this bug report(#4699323, opened Aug 24th, 2006) I have open with Apple because there is no indication that they have even noticed it. Please reply if you have similar problems, questions, or suggestions. Bug report follows.
24-Aug-2006 04:17 PM Erik Meitner:
Summary:
Files saved to an NFS volume by Microsoft Word dissappear from the Finder. Many times "Ghosted" icons of "Word Work Files" are left behind.
Steps to Reproduce & Actual Results:
1. Mount an NFS volume from a server(Mac or Linux, doesn't matter. NFS options do not matter.) from the Finder or command line.
2. Open a Finder window to the mount point.
3. Create a word document(test.doc), save to the NFS mount point.
4. Make sure both the Word window and Finder window are visible.
5. Type a single letter, Save.
6. "Word Work File L_200098113"(the number varies.) apears and test.doc dissapears from the folder. Then the icon for "Word Work File L_200098113" goes "ghosted" (test.dc IS still there, just not shown. You can verify this in the shell )
7. Type a letter, Save.
8. The work file dissapears and is replaces by "Word Work File L_200098113"
9. Rinse, Repeat ad infinitum.
Expected Results:
File saved & Finder does NOT get out of sync with the filesystem.
Regression:
* Only happens on NFS volumes.
* Only happens with MS Word.
* It happens on Panther(10.3.9) and Tiger(up to 10.4.7)
* "Fast saves" in Word has no effect.
* The user has full access to the root of the NFS volume.(a .TemporaryItems folder IS being created)
* Verified that problem happens with all Versions of Office 2004 from 11.2.3 to 11.2.6(current).
* Happens with ALL users: admin, local, and non-local(LDAP authenticated, network homes).
Notes:
* The work files(with "ghosted" icons) never show up when listing the folder via the CLI.
* The original(test.doc) always shows in the CLI.
* Relaunching the Finder usually causes the "missing" files to show again, but not always.
* Problem is exacerbated by users losing faith in the system, thus saving very frequently, guaranteeing that the problem will always happen.
* Only workaround is to have users work on files "off the network" on a local disk.

Relaunching the Finder will restore the icons to the proper state most of the time. One can also use this application to force a refresh of a folders contents: http://www.brockerhoff.net/nudge/index.html
I am not sure of the internal workings of "Nudge", but it does seem to be the best hack available to get the Finder to work properly.
01-Sep-2006 08:48 AM Erik Meitner:
I should also add that this problem is repeatable on 15 different Macs of different models, all running 10.3.9 with the latest updates.
11-Sep-2006 12:41 PM Erik Meitner:
Problem is repeatable on all 6 of our Machines running Tiger(10.4.7) with all the latest updates.
20-Sep-2006 02:25 PM Erik Meitner:
The "Nudge" tool mentioned previously does not always work especially for some users who experience this problem the worst. It will only restore the file to a "ghosted" icon that is still inaccessable.
Moving the file to a different folder and deleting the resource fork file is the only solution in this case.

OS X 10.4.8 update has not altered the behavior of this bug. The Office 2004 11.30 update seems to have caused the problem to happen less frequently. I would say it now happens half as frequently.

Bonjour published NFS shares do not show in Finder

In Mac OSX 10.4, Finder did properly discover NFS, AFP and SMB bonjour published services. In 10.5 it seems only AFP published shares show up.
I used avahi for Linux and nfs.tcp as service type. This configuration worked fine in Tiger.
Does anybody know of any Finder.plist setting or something else that should enable finder to discover NFS shares again?
For the mean time (since I consider it a real bug) I wrote my own Ruby script daemon using DNSSD to look up all bonjour published NFS services and the mount them.
I can publish this script here if anybody is interested. It actually uses the new Ruby DNSSD package of Leopard.

Where is the file saved after using "Share... DVD..."? Is it saved?

Hi,
I burned a 1 hour 41 minute HD program in FCPX using "Share" and "DVD..." It took about 17 hours to compress into a DVD. I made a few copies and quit the process. Now I want to make more copies, but I can't find where the completed file is saved. Was it saved at all? Or do I have to do this 17 hour compression all over again?
Thanks, Duncan

By default it goes in your Movies folder.

Can't mount NFS share via GUI

Mac OS X 10.8.2
MacBookPro5,3
Hello,
I've recently upgraded to OS X 10.8.2 and am having great difficulty in mounting my NFS shares via the OSX GUI. This worked fine at OS X 10.6.
My aim is to provide an automount type of setup so that less experienced users don't have to worry about the command line.
Can someone please point me in the right direction here?
This is what I've tried to date.
My NFS service is hosted on my Debian server. It supports NFS v4. The service is working and stable and is used routinely with Ubuntu clients. It has also worked with OS X 10.6 clients in the past, but not with OS X 10.7 clients.
To date I have tried the following options:
Mount via finder: Connect to server option using syntax: nfs://<user>@<server>/<share>
setting up autofs using the instructions from pmbuko
using the command line to mount the share.
The first option failed repeatedly. I did find that it would eventually work, though only after I'd manually mounted the share at the command line.
I have not been able to get the second option to work.
I initiate autofs using the command 'automount -vc' and see that the connection is recognised
when I attempt to cd into a directory below the mount point, I eventually get the message 'Connection Refused'.
when I check my Debian logs, I find that the NFS service had actually received an authenticated mount request from the Mac.
when I check my Mac Console logs, I see an error:kernel: nfs_connect: socket error 61 for <server>/<share>
I was able to get the third option working, but only after using the '-o resvport' option.
'Something' does appear to be broken with OS X 10.8.2 as an NFS client.
Any thoughts?

I have found a work around that meets my imediate needs, though it doesn't allow me to use autofs functionality.
The work around uses the traditional Unix/Linux approach of automatically mounting a file system or NFS share via fstab at boot time. OS X 10.8 still supports fstab, even though the file is not included in the default installation.
Once mounted, the NFS share appears as if it is part of the normal file system.
The following is only intended for people confident in Unix or Linux systems administration and in using a shell environment via the command line. Do not attempt this if you do not have these skills.
To set up for fstab, do the following within a terminal session:
create an empty directory in your file system that you can use as your mount point for your NFS share:
sudo mkdir /data/share
sudo chown root:wheel /data/share
using your favourite editor, create the fstab file (in a terminal type 'man fstab' for details)
sudo vi /etc/fstab
add similar to the following to /etc/fstab and then save and exit, substituting your own values where appropriate
# My NFS share
<your-server>:/<your-share> /data/share nfs resvport,rw,hard,intr 0 0
sudo chown root:wheel /etc/fstab
Please note: you may not need the resvport option in the fstab line above. It will depend on your NFS server's requirements.
Once you have done this, reboot your Mac and your NFS share should be mounted at the mount point that you defined.
If not, check your logs to see what went wrong.

New files and folders on a Linux client mounting a Windows 2012 Server for NFS share do not inherit Owner and Group when SetGID bit set

Problem statement
When I mount a Windows NFS service file share using UUUA and set the Owner and Group, and set the SetGID bit on the parent folder in a hierarchy. New Files and folders inside and underneath the parent folder do not inherit the Owner and Group permissions
of the parent.
I am given to understand from this Microsoft KnowledgeBase article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951716/en-gb) the problem is due to the Windows implmentation of NFS Services not supporting the Solaris SystemV or BSD grpid "Semantics"
However the article says the same functionality can acheived by using ACE Inheritance in conjunction with changing the Registry setting for "KeepInheritance" to enable Inheritance propagation of the Permissions by the Windows NFS Services.
1. The Precise location of the "KeepInheritance" DWORD key appears to have "moved" in Windows Server 2012 from a Services path to a Software path, is this documented somewhere? And after enabling it, (or creating it in the previous
location) the feature seems non-functional. Is there a method to file a Bug with Microsoft for this Feature?
2. All of the references on demonstrating how to set an ACE to achieve the same result "currently" either lead to broken links on Microsoft technical websites, or are not explicit they are vague or circumreferential. There are no plain Examples.
Can an Example be provided?
3. Is UUUA compatible with the method of setting ACE to acheive this result, or must the Linux client mount be "Mapped" using an Authentication source. And could that be with the new Flat File passwd and group files in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
and is there an Example available.
Scenario:
Windows Server 2012 Standard

I'm making some "major" progress on this problem.
1. Apparently the "semantics" issue to honor SGID or grpid in NFS on the server side or the client side has been debated for some time. It also existed as of 2009 between Solaris nfs server and Linux nfs clients. The Linux community defaulted to declaring
it a "Server" side issue to avoid "Race" conditions between simultaneous access users and the local file system daemons. The client would have to "check" for the SGID and reformulate its CREATE request to specify the Secondary group it would have to "notice"
by which time it could have changed on the server. SUN declined to fix it.. even though there were reports it did not behave the same between nfs3 vs nfs4 daemons.. which might be because nfs4 servers have local ACL or ACE entries to process.. and a new local/nfs
"inheritance" scheme to worry about honoring.. that could place it in conflict with remote access.. and push the responsibility "outwards" to the nfs client.. introducing a race condition, necessitating "locking" semantics.
This article covers that discovery and no resolution - http://thr3ads.net/zfs-discuss/2009/10/569334-CR6894234-improved-sgid-directory-compatibility-with-non-Solaris-NFS-clients
2. A much Older Microsoft Knowledge Based article had explicit examples of using Windows ACEs and Inheritance to "mitigate" the issue.. basically the nfs client "cannot" update an ACE to make it "Inheritable" [-but-] a Windows side Admin or Windows User
[-can-] update or promote an existing ACE to "Inheritable"
Here are the pertinent statements -
"In Windows Services for UNIX 2.3, you can use the KeepInheritance registry value to set inheritable ACEs and to make sure that these ACEs apply to newly created files and folders on NFS shares."
"Note About the Permissions That Are Set by NFS Clients
The KeepInheritance option only applies ACEs that have inheritance enabled. Any permissions that are set by an NFS client will
only apply to that file or folder, so the resulting ACEs created by an NFS client will
not have inheritance set."
"So
If you want a folder's permissions to be inherited to new subfolders and files, you must set its permissions from the Windows NFS server because the permissions that are set by NFS clients only apply to the folder itself."
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;321049
3. I have set up a Windows 2008r2 NFS server and mounted it with a Redhat Enteprise Linux 5 release 10 x86_64 server [Oct 31, 2013] and so far this does appear to be the case.
4. In order to mount and then switch user to a non-root user to create subdirectories and files, I had to mount the NFS share (after enabling Anonymous AUTH_SYS mapping) this is not a good thing, but it was because I have been using UUUA - Unmapped Unix
User Access Mapping, which makes no attempt to "map" a Unix UID/GID set by the NFS client to a Windows User account.
To verify the Inheritance of additional ACEs on new subdirectories and files created by a non-root Unix user, on the Windows NFS server I used the right click properties, security tab context menu, then Advanced to list all the ACEs and looked at the far
Column reflecting if it applied to [This folder only, or This folder and Subdirectories, or This folder and subdirectories and files]
5. All new Subdirectories and files createdby the non-root user had a [Non-Inheritance] ACE created for them.
6. I turned a [Non-Inheritance] ACE into an [Inheritance] ACE by selecting it then clicking [Edit] and using the Drop down to select [This folder, subdirs and files] then I went back to the NFS client and created more subdirs and files. Then back to the
Windows NFS server and checked the new subdirs and folders and they did Inherit the Windows NFS server ACE! - However the UID/GID of the subdirs and folders remained unchanged, they did not reflect the new "Effective" ownership or group membership.
7. I "believe" because I was using UUUA and working "behind" the UID/GID presentation layer for the NFS client, it did not update that presentation layer. It might do that "if" I were using a Mapping mechanism and mapped UID/GID to Windows User SIDs and
Group SIDs. Windows 2008r2 no longer has a "simple" Mapping server, it does not accept flat text files and requires a Schema extension to Active Directory just to MAP a windows account to a UID/GID.. a lot of overhead. Windows Server 2012 accepts flat text
files like /etc/passwd and /etc/group to perform this function and is next on my list of things to see if that will update the UID/GID based on the Windows ACE entries. Since the Local ACE take precedence "over" Inherited ACEs there could be a problem. The
Inheritance appears to be intended [only] to retain Administrative rights over user created subdirs and files by adding an additional ACE at the time of creation.
8. I did verify from the NFS client side in Linux that "Even though" the UID/GID seem to reflect the local non-root user should not have the ability to traverse or create new files, the "phantom" NFS Server ACEs are in place and do permit the function..
reconciling the "view" with "reality" appears problematic, unless the User Mapping will update "effective" rights and ownership in the "view"

What version of Premiere Elements and what computer operating system? You have a few other threads awaiting follow up, and consequently that information
is not available elsewhere.
What is your specific export...
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
and Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30 or something like that.
Specific please.
But what specifically are you entering in the Save In: field of the dialog that includes the Save button to initiate the export process.
Are you saving it as a file to the Desktop or to a specific folder on the Desktop? Have you given the export a distinctive file name?
The screenshot shows the Save In: to the Desktop as a file.
I have no idea of your background with the program, so I ask these questions so as to take nothing for granted.
If the computer Desktop is crowded, as mine often is, it is easy to have difficulty spotting a file save to the Desktop.
We will be watching for your follow up.
Thank you.

Files in NFS share not visable

I'm trying to install Solaris 10u4 from a Netra T1-200 install server. The client is a Sun Enterprise 5000, it boots fine during the network install but gives the error "The directory you specified doen not contain a valid Solaris OS image".
If I mount the same NFS share from a Linux box I can see all the files in the Boot directory but there are no files visable in the Tools or Solaris_10 directory. I've verified that they exist on the Netra but the are not visable in the share.
Any help in resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jack

OK, i can replicate it by doing the following on the server:
<pre>
# touch test\ file\ one.txt
# touch test\ file\ one\ two.txt
# touch test\ file\ one\ two\ three.txt
# touch test\ file\ one\ two\ three\ four.txt
# touch test\ file\ one\ two\ three\ four\ five.txt
</pre>
the last two files (ending in four and five) do not appear in finder.
It seems that if there are 5 or more spaces in a filename the file will not appear.
This seems like a bug doesn't it? how would I go about reporting it to apple?
Thanks

My power went off and I have lost a word file I was working on. Was this file saved automatically anywhere where I can retrieve?

My power went off and I have lost a word file I was working on. Was this file saved automatically anywhere where I can retrieve?

It may have been if you had autosave activated. I've never had that happen so I don't know where the file is put. I would expect Word would ask you if you wanted to retrieve a saved version when you next started it in those circumstances.

Copying files on NFS shares takes forever. Any suggestions?

I have some shares mounted via NFS, using Lion as a client. The mounting used to work flawlessly under Snow Leopard. In Lion, copying files often takes forever - the little spinning ball appears and it may take up to several minutes to complete a copy operation. The problem appears to be unrelated from the Finder - I have noticed the same when using the terminal to copy files.
Are there perhaps some different settings I should use when mounting the NFS shares?

Hi,
You may try this:
Click Start> Control Panel> Internet Options.
Click Security tab.
Click Local Intranet.
Click Sites button.
Click Advanced button.
Enter the IP Address of the other machine or server and click Add.
Click Close.

Mac user locks files for Windows users on NFS shares

Hi Everyone,
We run a mostly Windows environment here at my school and have two AD servers which also do our file shares for AD users. Every user has a network drive mapped to L on Windows, and this is mounted on the dock of our Mac users (all Macs are bound to the AD for auth and the OD for management). We also have shared folders for different groups of people, such as admissions or art (where the issue is). Most of these divisions are only Windows, so file sharing isn't and issue - but this is not the case in our Art department.
We have a shared folder (T on Windows) setup for users of the Art department with mostly Office docs in it. Windows users can write to the share just fine, just as the Mac users can. The issue comes up once a Mac user edits and saves the file (all to the share) - Windows users are now locked out of the file because the permissions are reset. What can we do to fix this issue? It's obnoxious having to go and reset the permissions after every edit from a Mac user.
Thanks,
-MRCUR

We also have that same problem. We don't actually solved the issue but we what we do did is just unlock the files once and even they are edited or opened in windows or mac, it does not lock the file. We use windows pc and connect to the drives and just simply right clicking the file then properties a button will show in the properties window saying "unlock". After we did that, those files was never locked out again.

Change NFS share password once it was saved

I have a couple of NFS shares that I connect to in Finder. I connect using command+K. When I set them up, I checked the box to save the password. Now, it appears that the password is in correct. I can connect to the server in terminal and using MacFuse. I cannot find the entries in the Keychain for the servers. How do I make OSX forget the passwords for these shares? Thanks.

NFS does not require authentication. There are no usernames or passwords to remember.
The server allows access based on IP address and subsequent filesystem permissions.

When saving to SharePoint 2010, we want Word to use document title for file name

We have a template and custom Document information Panel.
In the panel we select a few values to filter the selection list of document numbers. After selection of document number the title is populated from an external list of document numbers with titles.
On initial save, the suggested file name provided by word is not the title that is already populated. If we cancel, and click save a second time the title is now the suggested file name.
Is there a workaround or fix for this issue either for sharepoint or word? To make it use the title information on the initial save attempt?
Thanks in advance,
Chris.

Hi Chris,
Do you use SharePoint Designer Workflow to get and populate the document’s file name?
If so, the issue is caused by delayed Workflow.
For a workaround, you can create an event receiver with ItemAdding method for getting and populating the document’s file name.
For more information, you can refer to the article:

How can a mount a NFS share exported from OpenBSD?

Hello Apple Discussions:
I've been experimenting with NFS in a mixed OS environment, and have been successful exporting nfs share with tigerserver, and mounting it on both a powerpc linux system, and on a powerpc openBSD system.
Likewise, I can export a NFS share from the linux powerpc box, and mount it on the openBSD box and on the tigerserver, although, the latter required using the options (ro,sync,insecure) in my exports file.
However, when I export a share on the OpenBSD box, I can mount it on the linux box, but not on tigerserver.
I would like for the OpenBSD box to export a NFS share securely, with read-write permissions, to the tigerserver.
After reading so many tutorials, that it would be a page of links, just to list them all, I am pulling my hair out. However, I have found one thread that suggests, that perhaps what I'm trying to do is impossible:
http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=54308
Here it is suggested that the NFS won't work because tigerserver is not using UTF-8?
I will have to say, that I was somewhat alarmed, that the only times I succeeded in mounting an nfs share exported from linux onto tigerserver, it was when the "insecure" option is used in the /etc/exports file. There doesn't seem to be an equivalent for the linux style exports option "insecure", in the bsd style options of --maproot=user:group1:group2.
But I don't like using any options that say "insecure" anyways, so rather than trying to find out how to make openbsd "insecure", I would rather like to find out if there is a way to get tigerserver using UTF-8, at least when mounting NFS shares, if this is indeed the issue.
Here are the more technical details. I've created a user on all sytems named "fives" with the userid of 5555 and the groupid of 5555. I made the user local user in the local net info domain, but I've tried it with an LDAP user as well. The folders I wish to export and the folders into which to mount them are all owned by user fives and group fives, and have permissions set to 0775. The ip addresses are OpenBSD=192.168.222.111 TigerServer=192.168.222.233 LinuxPPC=192.168.222.253. I've included the relevant NFS setup files and running processes below:
ON THE OPENBSD BOX:

# actually, I don't see statd, but haven't found the equivalent in openbsd. There's rpc.rstatd, and maybe it should be listed here, but there doesn't seem to be a way to launch it directly. This is a competitor with the UTF-8 theory about why it's not working.
ON THE TIGER SERVER:
# here's proof that tiger server sees the mounts:
showmount -e 192.168.222.111
Exports list on 192.168.222.111:

/exports/fives 192.168.222.233 192.168.222.253
# here's the result of user fives' attempt at mounting a share:
sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.222.111:/exports/fives /imports/fives
mount_nfs: /imports/fives: Permission denied
# yet user fives has no problem mounting same share on linuxppc box.
What is different about OSX server? I thought it was supposed to speak NFS?
---argh... I'm steppin out for a pint.. Hopefully when I'm back it'll just work.

One thing not mentioned is that if you decide on the multiple user approach, you can have your music folder in Shared Documents so you only store the tracks once.
Each user is free to choose which of those tracks they want in their library.
There is an Apple help article on multiple users.
