I have had the terastation for a few years and had very few problems with it in a mixed windows/mac/linux environment. We have recently moved from a win2000 domain to a new win2003 domain and I was using windows authentication.
Our art department all use macs and use the tera (afp) to store their files before sending them to the printers. Just recently the tera has issues with long filenames. Anything over a certain length becomes hidden to the macs but I can see all the files over smb on my linux machine. This is obviously causing problems for us. I have checked the drive and it comes back clean.
I can move the files from the tera to a windows file server and the macs can then see all of the files. If they then try to move those files from the windows share to the tera they get an error about long filenames and the copy operation quits.
They have also recently had trouble deleting folder because the are not seeing the .ds_store files.
I have move the tera to a workgroup and tried turnng off smb. This seems to help with the deleting folders issue but the long filenames problem is still present.
tera model and firmware version:
Dec 10 13:20:59 TERA1 terastation[621]: VERSION=1.04 SUBVERSION=HDD 0.00
Dec 10 13:20:58 TERA1 terastation[524]: Started logchkd
Dec 10 13:20:54 TERA1 terastation[482]: Started kernelmon
Dec 10 13:20:53 TERA1 terastation[406]: #[miconapl.mcon_get_version] mcon_version=TS-TGL/R5Ver1.04
Anyone else see anything like this? We are ready to move to a different file server if this continues.
Thanks for any info.
Edited to add:
Well apparently the afp implementation on the Terastation is prior to afp 3 since there is a 31 char filename limit.
I've switched the users back to SMB and the files all show again. Now we just have to deal with old files shared with afp and resource forks.
