LMSFM Does Not Support Sharing Info on CD-ROM (99298)
This article was previously published under Q99298
SUMMARY
LAN Manager Services for Macintosh (LMSFM) does not support sharing
information on CD-ROM with Macintosh clients.
MORE INFORMATION
LMSFM attempts to create a set of hidden directories in any directory
tree shared as a Macintosh volume. The set includes the ~AFP directory
that is used for storing desktop information and resource forks, and
the ~I directory, which may be used for icon and permission information.
Because CD-ROM is a read-only medium, the service cannot create these
directories and the attempt to share the volume fails. The service cannot
create them on a different (read-write) device.
If you need both Macintosh and PC connectivity to a CD-ROM, you have to
share in on an Apple Share server and run a PC Apple share protocol to
allow the LAN Manager PC users to read the drive. There are many third
party solutions available.
