Capacity incorrectly displayed on NFS client when quotas are set for NFS share on server

$
0
0

Hi I've found that when setting hard limit quotas on a Windows server 2016 (clustered), an SMB share size will correctly be displayed on the SMB client. Meaning a 221GB volume with a 300MB hard limit quota on an SMB share will be displayed as a 300MB mount volume on the SMB client.

However, on an NFS share, the NFS client will see the mounted share with the full volume size instead of the hard limit size.If I write beyond the 300MB limit, the client will get an error about disk full. Therefore I know the quota is indeed enabled. Its just not displaying correctly on the NFS client.

Here is the 300MB quota hard limit set for my NFS share called nfsalias

On both Windows and Linux NFS clients incorrectly sees the full 221GB volume size. I expected it to see the the hard limit quota size of 300MB.

Is this a known limitation with Windows Server?

Determine whether a request came directly to a share or via a DFS referral

$

So I have a reverse version of a question I see posted here quite often. I see a lot of people ask how to find out where a DFS referral is pointing them, or which server is being used, but what I would like to know is if there is a way to determine whether a request to a server came via a DFS redirect or not.

For example. Let's say you have a share on \\server1\share mapping toc:\share, and a domain DFS set up at \\contoso.com\share that has a folder target pointing to\\server1\share. When looking on the computer management for the server, I can see open files forc:\share.

But is there a way to determine whether a client accessed the file directly via\\server1\share\file.txt or via \\contoso.com\share\file.txt ?

Thanks!

Moving fileserver with folder redirection and offline files enabled not working as expected

$
0
0

Hello,

We need to change the fileserver where folder redirection files are currently hosted, lets call it Server1. We have also enabled offline sync for all these files (desktop,docs,pics etc). So files are now redirected to \\server1\userfiles\%username%. When I look at the computer CSC folder it shows one namespace "server1"

Now I've followed the following guide https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/folder-redirection/enable-optimized-moving  that says to enable "optimized" move of contents in offline caches. Well I did and then blocked my test user from accessing the fileshare so new files would stay in offline cache and not be synced to the server. I created some files to synced folders on the test computer. Then I robocopied the data to new fileserver "server2". Then changed the GP settings of folder redirection and offline files to reflect the new share. After that forced gpupdate on the computer, logged off and logged in. 

All files that I created after blocking access to old share were gone. All files were online and the sync center started to download all the files to new offline cache. Now the CSC folder shows server1 and server2. It seems it is not renamed as said in the Microsoft guide. Is anyone else seeing this behavior and is there any alternative way to do this without risking data loss while doing the move? Also the "move contents to new location" setting wont work because there is like hundreds of gigabytes of data and login times would be hours.


Cannot access shared drive when folder name consists of particular CHN char

Hi,

Full path on server D:\shared_e\home\admin bill\ang\港

Share path : \\TESTAD01\home\admin bill\ang\港

OS : Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard

The shared folder is not accessible with this particular Chinese character on a client machine.  We tried replacing with another character, the shared drive is accessible.  However, the folder is accessible from the server.

The Fonts have been applied on the server as well as on the client machine.

Any advice on what can cause this issue is greatly appreciated.

Replacing Raid 1 mirrored drives on Windows Server 2003x64

I have looked almost everywhere for the proper sequence to replace mirrored drives. The drives are getting old but still healthy we just want to replace them with new hard drives, has anyone actually done this? Only 2 drives 0 and 1. SCSI Ultra 320 in a 6 drive bay. Software mirroring with Windows Server Disk Management.  I would appreciate the proper steps for removing, remirroring a drive, rebooting with the new drive and remirroring the other new drive. Just don't want to harm the drives already running in case they need to be put back in the system

How to remove disks from Primordial Pool of an S2D deployment?

Executed this to disable auto addition of disks to the Storage Pool.

    Get-StorageSubSystem Cluster* | Set-StorageHealthSetting -Name "System.Storage.PhysicalDisk.AutoPool.Enabled" -Value False

Then the sequence of steps is in order

  1. Created a Two Node Cluster with two disks on each node.
  2. Enabled S2D and application deployed…
  3. Added third Node to the cluster (again with two disks) but the intention is not to put the disks into S2D and keep them locally available. But somehow the disks from the new node fall under the Primordial Pool;

Please let me know for how to get them out & assign to the box as local?

DFSR move to new folder

$

Hello, 

I have to move the DFSR folders from one drive to another. I have found a guide and another explaining how to do it. I have followed the guide - robocopy the files, move the share, compare the sizes, move the DFRS; but was getting thethis member is waiting for initial replication for replicated folder message. 4 hours later, as the message was still appearing, I have then run a command to 

dfsradmin Membership Set /RGName:<replication group name> /RFName:<replicated folder name> /MemName:<primary member> /IsPrimary:True

elect the primary node and the replication began. As a primary I have used the node with the drive swap. When I came this morning, I noticed that there is a lot of data missing in the folder, about 350gb to be exact. I checked the DfsrPrivate folder and there is 2000 files in the ConflictAndDeleted. I have also checked the other 2 members, but there is not data there either.<o:p></o:p>

I need to move one more folder, but wit the data containg all users private info, so the last thing I want to do is loos the files. 

I would like to know if there is something I have done incorrectly. Should’ve I selected a different primary node? If I run the command now to see the primary, there isn’t one again… 

Also, what has happened to the data?

Thanks,

Peter

DFSR Replication failed

I have two servers. The 'upstream' server is getting Database errors for the L: drive. It was still doing the initial replication and has about 4 TB left to go. The drive has free space.

I ran "chkdsk L: /scan /perf" and it did not find errors. The drive still has about 5 TB free. I restarted the DFSR service but I get the same errors.

Do i need to delete the entire Replication Group? I have four other replicated folders with normal status according to the diagnostic report. 

The upstream server is getting the database errors:

 Event ID: 2104

Server is running SBS2011 based on Server 2008R2.  C: drive is 60GB with 5GB free space.  The C:\windows\winsxs folder is 18GB with folders dating back to year 2009.  Is there a safe way to reduce the size of this folder by getting rid of old data that will never be needed?

Windows Server 2016 Domain admin permission issue

$
0
0

Hi all,

I'm having a weird issue in Server 2016 in regard to share and NTFS permissions.

When I create a folder on my file server (D: partition) and I change nothing, I can access all the folders and files in it. If, however, I disable inheritance to modify the permissions and change the share and NTFS permissions, I get an error (as local and domain admin) that I can not access the folder, I get a prompt and when I choose continue it adds the specific account (which is either local or domain admin) to the NTFS permissions. The share and NTFS permissions are as follows:

Share:
User group - Modify
Domain admins - Full Control

NTFS:
User group - Modify
Administrators - Full Control*
Domain Admins - Full control

* It doesn't matter whether I only give permissions to Administrators (of which domain admins is a member) or Domain Admins when I'm logged into a domain admin account.

The ownership of the folder does not influence anything as well, even when my account owns the folder I still get the prompt. When I change the the owner of the folder to, for instance the domain admins, I'm all of a sudden kicked out of it altogether (even though my account is a domain admin).

Turning off UAC does not change anything either. Neither does re-adding the server to the domain, nor does formatting the harddisk (as the issue can be recreated on multiple drives).

My other server 2016, in the same domain, also has this issue. Yet another server, also a Server 2016, in another domain which I'm administrator of doesn't have this issue at all. I have even recreated the domain in order to check whether the issue is domain related, this turns out not to be the case.
Does anyone else have similar problems with NTFS permissions not being applied properly? Is this a known bug in 2016 after a specific update?

If anyone has any tips, I'd very much appreciate the help.

Kind regards,

Ranko

Edit: I've tried SFC as well, did not help. Clean install of Windows did not help either (it was being updated right after the installation, so I can not rule out a bug due to an update).

How can i ensure that the harddisk3 designation is relatd with USB etxernal disk?

I have several erros in LOGs:

An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk3\DR3 during a paging operation.

and

The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk3\DR7

All times are HardDisk3 and sometimes it references to DR3 and sometimes DR7

My disk structure is:

2 RAID5 arrays fomr the same disks (80GB and 2 TB)

and USB 2 TB External hard disk with several partitions

I´m 99% sure that the error is related to the external USB disk and the Dell DIag tool shows no problems with any component
