STOP Message: HPFS when Accessed from OS/2 2.1 Using LAN Server

 Last reviewed: May 13, 1997
Article ID: Q109537
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

If an HPFS drive on a Windows NT server is accessed over the network from an OS/2 2.1 workstation running LAN Server 3.0, the Windows NT computer halts with a STOP message after a while if the workstation attempts to access files with extended attributes.

If the workstation is accessing NTFS or FAT partitions on the server, the server remains working without any problems; however, the LAN Server workstation may display a STOP message instead.

CAUSE

There is a problem in the HPFS driver (PINBALL.SYS) for Windows NT 3.1 with the way it handles extended attributes.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem was corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces): 

   S E R V P A C K
However with this Service Pack, the LAN Server workstation now experiences a STOP message similiar to that experienced for FAT and NTFS partitions. IBM has a corrective service pack available for LAN Server 3.0 (part number IPU 7001) which corrects this problem on the workstation. If you experience this problem, contact your IBM representative for a copy of their service pack.
