F.5 Net Folder

F.5.1 Active Directory Cross Forest Trust Relationship Is Not Supported

Cross Forest Trust relationships in Active Directory are not supported in Filr.

F.5.2 Moving or Renaming a File from the File Server Removes Shares

If a user moves or renames a file directly from the file server (instead of using a Filr client to do the move or rename), any shares that are associated with that file in Filr are removed. This means that users who gained access to a file via a share in Filr no longer have access to the file if the file was moved or renamed from the file server. Additionally, the file is not displayed in users’ Shared by Me and Shared with Me views.

If this situation occurs, files must be re-shared in Filr.

F.5.3 Folder Path in Filr Cannot Exceed 48 Levels

When folders on the file system are synchronized to a Net Folder, the folder path in Filr cannot exceed 48 levels deep (nested sub-folders). The file synchronization code will reject any sub-folder whose depth will cause the corresponding Filr folder path to exceed the sub-folder limit of 48.

When the Filr system encounters the limit of 48 folder levels, the sync code returns the following message and the folder is not created:

The folder xxx has reached the allowed path maximum depth. Its sub-folders will not be added in the system.

F.5.4 Modifying the Target Location in a Junction Created On the OES Server Does Not Reflect in the Filr Net Folder Pointing to the Junction

Create a junction on the OES Server and then create a net folder in Filr pointing to this junction. On changing the target location in this junction, the net folder still continues to point to the older target location in the junction. Consequently, the contents of the net folder continues to be the files and folders in the older target location.

To view the contents of the new target location in the net folder, run the following command to restart famtd.

rcnovell-famtd restart
