I have an annoying issue with File Services for Macintosh. We have several
Mac volumes accessible from a Win2k3 server. After a server re-boot, or a
restart of the file services for Macintosh the volumes do not show in the
chooser and cannot be mounted. This affects Macintosh clients on OS 8, 9 &
10. Also once the volumes are finally visible in the chooser (about 30
minutes) changes made to the shares on Win clients are not reflected on the
Macs.

I think this is connected to the indexing of the volume for Macintosh
clients but I can't find a way around this. I've tried increasing the
pagepool size and the server has plenty of resources but I'm still getting
un-aceptable performance on the volumes. Any ideas?
