Odd file access issues OES 11 SP1

Hello,
We're running a VMWare ESXi 5.1 cluster. On that we have an OES 11 cluster managing groupwise/iprint/nss/dhcp/dns services. Over the summer we updated to SP1 on the OES side.
This school year we have seen some odd issues, particularly with our NSS volumes. Occasionally, some users will report that they can't see their home directory or other shared folders. I actually had one user opening up a shared folder for our high school and was seeing a shared folder for a completely different school. If you created a new folder, it put it in the proper share. So, very weird behavior. Generally a client reboot fixes the issues, but it's becoming common enough that I feel there is some underlying issue.
Any thoughts about what could be causing this? I'm not even sure where to look as far as logs go when we see the problem.

You've patched up SLES and OES to the current patch level? What client OS and protocol is in use? What Novell client version, if any?

Is anyone else having random file access issues? including "Element not found" error?

I don;t know what the @#$ is going on with this device, but for example:
user A creates a folder in their area(under a share with RW rights)
Everything is great..
They come in on day2, and all of a sudden, they get "Access denied" on the (excel) file
Typically, if I re-apply full rights for them using windows permissions, it "fixes" it.
Today, I went to modify a excel spreasheet that I've been using for a week or so, and boom, access denied
and effective permissions indicate that very thing: no rights.
I attempted to re-apply rights to my home directory, and on that particulat .xls, got a "Element not found" message.
I'm sad that I've had SO much trouble with this device.
I re-sycned with A/D just for kicks, no help.
It syncs with A/D daily
I've had so many of these related permissions issues, we're likel;y scrapping the Lenovo for a windows server, but I figured I'll see if anyone else is dealing with this message..
I'm also open to the fact that it could be our A/D I suppose..

Sorry to reply to such an old topic, but I am having exactly the same issue. Did you ever find a fix? We are reapplying all the parent folder settings every morning to bandaid the situation, but it is becoming a little ridiculous...
We have our settings so that a file administrator has full access to everyone's files, and each individual has full access to their own folder. The folder settings never change, but the files seem to lose the user's access permission periodically after being opened or edited (haven't narrowed down the exact cause, but has never happened to files that haven't been accessed, but doesn't always happen to files that have been accessed). One odd thing that might have something to do with it, the ownership of files keeps defaulting to a generic 63353/UNIX instead of the creator of the file or the owner of the parent folder (which is set the way we want). We are currently experiementing with changing it, but it seems ike if we set the owner to the user, the file administrator randomly loses access, if we set to the file admin, the user randomly loses access. I think we might be can bandaid the situation from the user's perspective with this, but it doesn't seem to fix the initial issue, that the folder permissions won't stay set.

RAC-DATA FILE ACCESSING ISSUE FROM ONE NODE

RAC needs the very same storage layer to be visible and available on each RAC node - thus this needs to be some form of shared cluster storage.
Should a piece of it fails on one node, that node would not be able to access the RAC database files on that shared storage layer - and will throw the type of errors you are seeing.
So how does this shared storage layer look like? Fibre channels (HBAs) connected to a Fibre Channel Switch and SAN - making SAN LUNs available as shared storage devices?
Typically a shared storage failure would throw errors in the kernel log. This is because the error is not an Oracle error, but a kernel error. As it is in your case. The bottom error on the error stack points to the root cause:
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 75 - see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: data file 75: '/dev/vg_rac/rraw_tap3plus_temp_live05'
ORA-27041: unable to open file
HPUX-ia64 Error: 19: No such device
So HP-UX on that node is not seeing a specific shared storage device.

File access issue

Hi friends,
I have created program that creates file in Application server (Unix Servier) using Open DataSet and Close DataSet. File is Created in the directory
/usr/app/sapudp/fi/temp perfectly.
But the issue is some users are not able to read\write the file. As per Unix team, these users does not belong to the perticular group.
By default the created files have the permissions for some Group only as shown below. But the my user does not belong to that group.
-rw-rw----   1 user1   group1
But by default it has to be as shown below
-rw-rw-r--   1 user1   group1
is there any way I can change this unix command in the program itself or unix guys have to change this every time the file is created.
please help me.. <b><REMOVED BY MODERATOR></b>

Recent file access issue

Hi all,
Seemingly since the last round of updates from Microsoft, my users are seeing intermittent instances where existing Excel spreadsheets (and maybe Word documents, although that hasn't been reported,) are unable to be saved. In two cases, after they closed Excel, the file disappeared from the file system (share on a 2008 Server.)
Also, we've seen a few instances where multiple users can have write access to a sheet simultaneous. No, they are not "Shared Documents" in Excel.
Has anyone seen this, or better yet know the cause or solution?
Thanks!

It's very slow to access file server after installed SP1 of Win7.

I found it's become very slow to access shared files on file server after installed win7 SP1, (windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe), access same file, the win7 without sp1 is fast in 5 secs, but the pc with sp1 need more than 30 secs. And
I tried to removed the sp1, everything goes fine, access fast as others.
I don't understand what's the reason and which feature affected it, I believe the sp1 can help Win7 be more safety, but why the performance on it get worse.
And I didn't find the same question or tips on forum or website, do you really haven't the issue?

Server 2008r2 and windows 7 pro slow to no networkshare file searching and file access (green progress bar)

we are running a windows server 2008r2 sp1 domain controller and a 3com gigabit switch to which 7 windows 7 pro computers are connected. We are only using the windows server to distribute a few printers and as a network share (z drive).
we are storing all files (word documents only) centrally on the server (z share), and files are accessed and written to the z share.
Problem is that file access from the z share on the windows 7 client computers is at best buggy. we are able to browse the z-share, but as soon as we want to search the z-share for files (f.i. use file explorer with "content: memorandum") the green
progress bar shows and no search is performed. something like alphabetically sorting a directory on map/file name on the z-share also shows a green bar with no sorting. manually going to the files works.
One thing i noticed, sometimes not all files that one user created and stored on the server is visible and can be found by another user. I prefer to disable all offline file caching setting, because that feature is not used. no files should be made accessible
offline. i don't know where to change that on the server side.
I am reluctant to experiment on the server end (2008r2 sp1), so i tried a few suggested solutions on the client end (windows 7 client)
I tried disabling offline file caching
i tried properties (z share) ==> advanced and map optimizing and several options there
i tried disabling the smbv2 protocol and disabling the smbv1 protocol (using
sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi command etc. posted by microsoft)
i tried disabling windows defender
i tried accessing the z share via ip and server name (the share is mapped via its servername, e.g. dennis-dc1\share). still the same
file searching on the clients c drive ('own harddrive') works much better, file searching on the server also works.
any suggestions or solutions that i can test on the client side, as mentioned i am reluctant to change something on the server side. if a solutions works, i prefer to change it on the server side.

Hi,
The issue could be due to windows indexing service taking long time in sorting and searching in mapped drives. Please try the steps belwo to disable windows indexing service or search service on the windows 7 client to resolve the issue.
You can click on Start and select Control Panel, click on
Programs and Features, go into the Turn Windows Features on or off section Scroll down the list and uncheck the box next to Indexing Service or Windows Search.

Mandy

File Adapter Issue in SOA Suite11g

Hi,
I have been facing a strange issue while testing my BPEL process.
I have a BPEL process which reads input as event listener and then does a small transformation
At last its writing that output message into a txt file using FileAdapter.
While testing the BPEL process, its showing success instance id but no files are generating.
When I was checking at Audit Trail, its showing the output message is being passed into the FileAdapter.
Same time I was checking the server log, but there was no error/exception.
Can anyone help me to resolve the problem?
Note:
I have been using SOA Suite v11.1.1.4 & have configured FileAdapater with option of Logical Path

File sharing issues make file sharing a pain! Is there a fix?

Noted since install of Snow Leopard, I'm having issues accessing, editing, or renaming files/folders in a "shared" folder.
I work from multiple platforms in multiple locations, as does my staff. Typically I need to: create a file on my office iMac, edit it from my home iMac, edit again on the road from my MacBook Air, have an associate proof/edit/polish from a Windows desktop, and final edits from my office iMac.
Formerly done on a shared folder on the office iMac, we ran into constant permission & access issues (see prior unresolved posts). We've abandoned that approach.
We are now facing the same issues with a new shared folder on the office Windows based server. I can't rename folders I created, I'm not allowed access to files I've created.
We believe this is related to changes to SMB software, but have not located a fix that lets us operate the way we used to, ..the way we need to.
Appears Apple SMB is locking folders & files and not unlocking when appropriate - example create folder from office iMac and later with everything closed and only Finder running not being able to rename the folder.

You can do this if you keep your wits about you and manage the unexpected additional complexity.
Keep in mind:
The sharing login screens presented each time you reach across to the other Mac request the name and password of a User on the REMOTE computer, but are on the screen of the local computer.
If you are not connected to the User you need, or are connected as "Guest", break the connection and connect again as the specific user you need.

Problem with default file access permission

Hi,
I am accessing a common area '/NFS_DATA' by both my java and oracle codes by the users 'javaUsr' and 'oraUsr' respectively.
As per the requirement, the oracle code (oraUsr) needs to create some file in the specified location and then the java code (javaUsr) needs to update those files (created by oraUsr) with some new data.
At present scenario the 'oraUsr' creates files with default access permission 644, which does not permit 'javaUsr' to update them.
Constraints : I am not supposed to set umask at the .profile of 'oraUsr'.
Execution of any shell script from oracle procedure is not permitted.
Is it possible to specify file-system specific default file access permissions??
Any idea to overcome this issue??

Remote file access doesn't work with Mac and Q10

I'm running the latest BlackBerry Link (version 1.20, build 7) and Mac OS X (version 10.9) software on my Mac Mini computer.
I setup BlackBerry Link for remote file access.
On my Q10 in File Manager I see my Mac computer but for some reason I don't see any folders. It's just a black blank screen. My carrier is Telus.
In link I chose folders to access. It seems like everything is setup properly and I still see only a black blank screen on my Q10.
Any Mac users have this issue?

Me too. None of the sync functions/remote file access/wifi sync using BB Link are working for me. I have a Mac (10.8.5) and a BB Z10 (10.2.0.429). I hope BB comes up with a solution soon.

File access/locking problems, most notably with AutoCAD

A number of sporadic problems of AutoCAD users who've been working away
suddenly not able to write to the file they've been working on. If
multiple people try to use the same Xrefs, often some will get that the
file is corrupted report by AutoCAD.
What is reproducible is one of the Xref problems and it has given us a
bit of a work around to keep working.
To Reproduce:
Start AutoCAD(2009), open a file with base(Xref)
Save the base (no change needed) without closing, and refresh
the base disappears from view, and when we look in the 'Xref Manager'
we see that the Base has a status of 'Needs Recovery'. This applies
even when multiple people had the Xref in read only view, that it is
now unavailable, but when the full drawing is shut down and reopened
by the one who had saved, the Xref is just fine.
Autosave is not triggering the problem.
This has been reproduced on the newest version of ACAD as well, just
slightly different wording of errors.
OES2 sp3 servers (in VMWare) with mostly XPsp3 clients but a few
Windows 7 ones as well. The clients mostly have the newest clients
installed, but there are some of the XP boxes with 4.91.4 still on
them.
Just migrated the main data volume from NetWare 6.5.8 to OES2 Linux and
immediately started having the problem. 100% of file access is via
NCP. no CIFS is configured, to the point we have cross-protocol-locks
set to 0 (Zero, i.e. Off).
I think I've been through every combination of file locking settings of
server vs workstation without any apparent change.
Still working out different tests to do to find what makes a
difference.
Observations that might just lead to clues toward the root cause:
- On NetWare, if a user left files open over night, we could still see
those being listed as opened in Monitor. Past history with these users
is that there was always several showing as open every night even when
we were sure they'd all been gone for hours. Now when we check the all
the volumes late in the evening, they've been showing no files open.
perhaps that is a clue to a problem in lock tracking.
- While still at OES2 sp2, the pilot team kept giving vague
descriptions of problems using ACAD against files on OES2, but those
all went away after applying SP3, so after 2 months of one small group
running ACAD against files stored on OES2-linux, we migrated the bulk
of the data as the last volume from a failing NetWare 6.5.8 cluster
(recreating SBDs was getting tiring).

Glad to hear that your (and our) customer's life became less complicated.
Keep up doing the good work !
Best regards

Hi Hans,
i have just helped a customer to migrate their data from NW65SP8 to OES2SP3 and hit the same problem with the CAD group using AutoCAD 2004 on Windows XP with NC491SP3 + some Postpatches
Do we have a release date for the next OES2 SP3 Scheduled Maintenace Patch?
The last available is from May and has been apparently released the 31st of May.
Do we have a chance to get the ftf in someway?
Many thanks in advance and best regards,
