Replacing HD in an MacOS 10.6.8 server caused all shares to fail
- by Cheesus
I'm hoping someone might have a helpful suggestion about this problem.
We have 2 MacOSX servers available for file sharing. (quad Xeons - 2GB RAM, both 10.6.8), No.1 is an Open Directory Master with 50+ user accounts, No.2 has only 2 local accounts (/local/Default) and looks at the OD Master for all user accounts (/LDAPv3/10.x.x.20/)
Both servers have 3 internal HD's, The boot volume with only Server OS and minimal Apps. A 'DataShare' HD (500GB) and a backup drive (500GB).
After upgrading the DataShare HD in Server No.2 from a small internal HD (500GB) to larger capacity (2TB) drive, users are unable to connect to shares on Server No.2. Users get an error "There are no shares available or you are not allowed to access them on the server"
The process I followed was to use Carbon Copy Cloner to create an exact copy of the original data drive (keeps all ownership data, UID, permissions, last edit date and time). Everything booted up ok, no indication there was any issues. (Paths to the sharepoint look good)
Notes during troubleshooting
- Server1 is operating perfectly, all users can access shares and authenticate etc.
- I've checked the SACL (Server Access Control List) settings is ok.
- On Server2 in the Server Admin' app, I can see all the shares listed ok. The paths seem valid, I can disable / reenable the shares, no errors.
- On Server2 'workgroup manager' lists all the accounts from the OD Master in the LDAP dir view. All seems fine from here.
Basically everything looks normal but no file shares on Server2 can be accessed from regular users.
