Advanced Server for UNIX Version 5.1B-4 ECO2 Release Notes (13158)

by setting the registry parameter UseEAs to 1. The ASU server will set the
extended attributes but will not return the values of the extended attributes.
This problem is corrected in this release.
Problem addressed:
Enabling debug logging for knblink might cause the knblink process to crash
dump and exit. This problem occurs when the debug log file size exceeds the
process file size limit (even though the default file size limit is a large
value). When the knblink process exits, you cannot create new connections to
the ASU server over TCP/IP.
This problem is corrected in this release. Even if the log file size is
exceeded, the knblink process continues after logging an unusual event in
the /usr/net/servers/lanman/debug directory. The filename of the logged
event is: Unusual-sigxfsz-<pid>-<host>, where <pid> is the process
identifier and <host>is the server that generated the event. The debug log
is automatically closed at the time of this event.
Problem addressed:
This solution addresses two problems relating to the storage of symbolic
link metadata as follows:
o If you set the registry parameter StoreAclAsMetadata to 1, and
subsequently set an ACL on a symbolic link, the ACL is stored with the
target file instead of with the symbolic link. Because the ACL on the
symbolic link never changes, it results in incorrect file access
permissions when you access the file by using the symbolic link.
o If you set the registry parameter StoreAttributesAsMetadata to 1, and
subsequently set attributes on a symbolic link, the attributes are
stored with the target file instead of with the symbolic link. Because
the attributes on the symbolic link never change, it results in
incorrect attributes when you access the file by using the symbolic
link.
Both problems have been corrected in this release.
Problem addressed:
This problem occurs when clients running the OS/2 operating system
try to access a file's extended attributes (EA). If the value of
the UseEAs registry parameter is enabled (set to 1), the lmx.srv process
displays unaligned memory access errors on the console. For example:
