Environment

Novell Client 2 SP3 for Windows

Situation

After the server is restarted, or upon a workstation sleep/wake or disconnect/reconnect event, drive mappings to TFS volumes do not get reconnected. They display in Windows File Explorer with "NcFsd" and upon opening the drive, an empty file listing is displayed.

Resolution

Fixed in Novell Client 2 SP3 for Windows (IR8)

Cause

Upon reconnect, the Novell Client is incorrectly requesting only volumes with MAC name space loaded, which is not possible with TFS volumes.
