More user-friendly IP setting is achieved. 1.10:6 200 GBytes volume: The maximum guaranteed mountable volume is 200 GBytes. 1.10:7 CIFS/SMB: UserLevel security in Windows 2000 environments The StorPoint can now be accessed even when the userLevel security is used in an environment where a Windows 2000 Server is the domain controller. Active directory is not supported. Corrected problems in version 1.10 ================================== 1.10:1 CIFS: Security permissions set by Windows 2000 can now be used by Win9x. 1.10:2 CIFS User Manager-tool: The function of creating home directories for users are now fully supported. 1.10:3 CIFS/SMB: "NetBIOS session limit has exceeded" The error message "NetBIOS session limit has exceeded" appeared on Windows 2000 Professional clients when shareLevel security was used or when using Terminal Server and more than 10 session have been established. 1.10:4 SMB: OS/2 client compatibility problems When using userLevel security, OS/2 clients experienced some problems when accessing mapped resources from the OS/2 DOS prompt. This problem is now corrected. 1.10:5 CIFS/SMB: Listing/copying of some files in large directories Some of the files in a directory with large number of files have not been shown correctly. This problem is now corrected. 1.10:6 NetWare: NCP burst mode was disabled in 1.00 because it could cause failure in the server when using CIFS and netware simultaneously. This problem has been corrected and the parameter is now enabled by default. 1.10:7 Wrong time stamps on files Time and date stamps on files and folders are now correct. 1.10:8 FTP enhanced: Rename command implemented, fragmented commands supported. 1.10:9 NFS: The NFS protocol is enabled by default. Known limitations in version 1.10 ================================= 1.10:1 Performance: If you store more than 10000 files in one directory performance will decrease when browsing that directory. 1.10:2 NFS: If a disk is formatted, the previous export of the volume will be removed. 1.10:3 NFS: Copying read-only files with PCNFS to the NAS 100 server is not supported. Workaround: Remove the read-only flag before copying, and reset the flag afterwards. 1.10:4 NFS: We support most Linux distributions, except RedHat 6.2 (Earlier versions of RedHat are supported). 1.10:5 CIFS: Time stamps on files created and modified from OS/2 clients are not correct. 1.10:6 CIFS: The support for Unicode file names does not include share names. 1.10:7 Netware: The Netware Filer administration program does not work correctly with the StorPoint NAS 100. 1.10:8 Netware: During installation in NDS using the installation Wizard in the Web administration interface, using the back button might cause installation to fail. 1.10:9 NetWare: If installation is done in a new tree (no prior schema extensions), the config.ini file has to be used instead of the Web wizard. 1.10:10 NetWare: ARCServeIT for backing up of the NAS 100 server is not supported. 1.10:11 NetWare: When installing the NAS 100 server into NDS, the NDSAdminName parameter must be entered without the leading dot (.). 1.10:12 NetWare: If a NAS 100 server is installed into two different containers in the NDS tree, it will exist under both names and it will answer to both server objects in NDS Manager. 1.10:13 NetWare: If the File Scan rights is not set on a folder, the NAS 100 server will only hide the content of the folder - not the folder itself. 1.10:14 NetWare: A user that has been assigned Supervisor rights to a folder which resides some levels down in the file hierarchy must have at least File Scan rights to the volume where that folder resides in order to see it. 1.10:15 FTP: Performance will decrease if multiple FTP clients are simultaneously writing files larger than 1 MB to the same directory. 1.10:16 FTP: Passive mode is not supported. 1.10.17 FTP: Timeout does not work. 1.10.18 FTP: Modified time is not changed when a file is overwritten. 1.10.19 SCSI: Disconnect/reselect parameter does not work. 1.10:20 Volume management: After a factory default, the share name of the volumes might differ from the actual volume name. 1.10:21 General: It's recommended not to initiate a firmware upgrade or a server shutdown when a file check of a volume is being performed.
