Environment
Novell NetWare 6.5
Novell NetWare NFS Server (XNFS.NLM)
Situation
XNFS UNSHARE: Failed to unshare "/VOLUME/PATH".
Resolution
XNFS UNSHARE is used to dynamically deactivate a NetWare NFS
share point. However, it can only do this with a share point
which was shared dynamically, i.e. with an XNFS SHARE
command. If the share point is defined in the
SYS:ETC\EXPORTS file at the time XNFS.NLM is initially loaded,
then this is considered a 'permanent' share rather than a
dynamic share, and XNFS UNSHARE can't be used to deactivate
it. This is functioning as intended.
To deactivate a permanent share, edit the SYS:ETC\EXPORTS
file, remark out the line where than start point is configured, and
save the file. Then at the console prompt give the command,"XNFS REFRESH".
