Environment
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) Linux Support Pack 3
Situation
After updating CIFS in iManager, some functionality may not be reflected correctly in /etc/opt/novell/cifs/cifs.conf. Mainly, the first updated parameter will appear on the same line as a comment, rather than in its own line in the file. For example, the end of the file will look like:
### Please do not modify this file, because it will be ignored.-RANGE_LOCK_MASK yes
-OFFLINE 0
-SUBTREE yes
-SUBDIR_CACHE_SIZE 102400
-DIR_CACHE_SIZE 10240
-FILE_CACHE_SIZE 256000
Resolution
This has been reported to engineering.
Additional Information
A quick workaround is to:
- Update the file to put the first parameter on it's own line (like the following):
### Please do not modify this file, because it will be ignored.
-RANGE_LOCK_MASK yes
-OFFLINE 0
-SUBTREE yes
-SUBDIR_CACHE_SIZE 102400
-DIR_CACHE_SIZE 10240
-FILE_CACHE_SIZE 256000 - restart the cifs service (rcnovell-cifs restart)
