SYMPTOMS
A Macintosh volume may be deleted while there are one or more clients that
are still connected and have open files. When you remove a Macintosh
volume, the Services for Macintosh server should queue the remove request
until all client sessions are closed or have disconnected because the
session timed-out.
CAUSE
Services for Macintosh is not properly delaying the removal of the volume
until after all client sessions have been closed.
RESOLUTION
Do not remove a volume until all client sessions to that volume have
properly disconnected from the volume or have closed any open files. Open
files can be viewed using the MacFile control panel tool. Once all client
files are closed, any open sessions can be disconnected using the MacFile
tool.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Server versions
3.51 and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
