Resolution
In the Novell Dynamic File Services Console, right click the server you wish to change the logging options on. Select "Properties", then select "Logging options". On this tab change the Log level for DswMcpCore.config.xml. and DswStandardEngine.config.xml to "DEBUG". Then select "Apply".
Note: For the log file to have the additional information, it will be nesessary to reproduce the issue to allow the filter driver to log the information.
The Dynamic File Services filter driver provides the merged view for Standard pairs. If the driver fails, the merged view is not available. Use the Filter Driver Diagnostics tool to save information that can help you diagnose a driver failure. Be prepared to provide the driver configuration and runtime log files to Novell Support.
