Novell 5.x and DOS application...

[FBM357]

Hey folks!

I've a problem that is nearly driving me to drink...*LOL* I've a DOS application (multi-user) which runs flawlessly at another site (Novell 5.x) as well as in my office (Novell 6.5). However, I'm encountering index corruption problems at another site and don't understand what could be causing the problem. I've narrowed it down to "when" it occurs (i.e. during a process when the file is being updated/written to). Though it doesn't happen "all" of the time, it's happening more than enough to bear.

Is there any "disk cache" settings that need to be adjusted on the server? I'm grasping straws, but asking anyone for input.

Thanks in advance,

FBM

Set Level 2 oplocks enabled=off
set client file caching enabled=off

What version of NetWare is the server running that is having the problems, and what patch level are you at?

marvhuffaker,

Netware 5.10 is the version in question and it's running on a non-windows server (the LAN Admin installed it from the CD)

 

[terry712]

so no service packs?
just 5.1 vanilla?

 

[FBM357]

yes, according to the LAN admin, service packs were installed
