I'm moving my environment from 95 to NT and am having problems
getting mounts to work properly on NT. Please note, the NT machine
is a fresh install - I am currently running 2 machines; 1 with 95
and the other with NT. The scenario is:
I have a server machine sharing a directory. When I mount the
directory I can ls a sub-directory, cat individual files inside that
directory, but cannot copy that same file or ls with wildcards in
that directory. When Ido the ls with wildcards, I get each file
listed with the error "No such file or directory". The same error
if I try to copy it. Again, "cat"ing the file works fine. This is all
when I mount the drive using:
mount //machine/share /mnt/mountpoint
and use commands like;
ls /mnt/mountpoint/subdir <-- works fine
cat /mnt/mountpoint/subdir/file1 <-- works fine
ls /mnt/mountpoint/subdir/fi* <-- lists files with errors
cp /mnt/mountpoint/subdir/file1 . <-- lists file1 with error
If I map the network drive, and then mount it, it works fine. In other
words, say map \\machine\share to drive T: in Explorer. Then commands
on that drive work:
ls //t/subdir <-- works fine
cat //t/subdir/file1 <-- works fine
ls //t/subdir/fi* <-- works fine
cp //t/subdir/file1 . <-- works fine
Any ideas why the mount won't access the file? Did I set something up
wrong? I though I set everything up the same as I did on my 95 machine
- which works fine for this.
Thanks,
Andy
