    Hello,

    The usual apologies for cross posting but this is an issue that may hit
    people with different expertises.

    I have an NT Server 4 (Service Pack 6 installed) that is having
    intermittent problems sharing folders with many files (probably over
    100,000 and @6 gigabytes in size-this is a pre-production Web Server) with
    my Mac workstations (typically G3's running System 9.) If I create (a Mac
    volume) and share folders that have just a few thousand files in them for
    example I don't have any problems (the folder\volume is consistently
    visible). Peer to peer networking for PC's is never a problem.

    To restore sharing on the folder with 100,000+ files I have had to
    re-create the share\Mac volume. Sometimes the Server will hang during this
    process (a soft hang, I can shut down the process).

    So with this background, my questions are;

    -Are there any known NT Server issues in sharing Folders\Mac Volumes that
    contain above a certain amount of files?

    -Why am I getting hangs\crashes from trying to re-create shares\Mac volumes?

    Any clues, ideas and solutions appreciated.

    Thanks.
