File and Folder Issues

Unable to Delete Folders After They Are Copied to Another Server and Back
In NLD SP1 on GNOME*, you are unable to delete folders after they are copied from one server
to another server and then copied back again using the GUI. The second set of folders cannot be
deleted. For example, if you copy and paste folders from Server A to Server B, then delete the
folders from Server A. Copy them from Server B to A, and then attempt to delete the files from
Server B, an error occurs and the folders cannot be removed.
To solve this problem, delete folders from the terminal.
Unable to Delete Files on GNOME
Users are unable to delete files on GNOME if the trash folder is set up at the root of an OES or
NetWare server volume where the user doesn't have rights. Users are then unable to delete files in
subdirectories on the OES or NetWare servers where they do have the proper rights to create/
modify/delete files. The following is also true:
A patch for this defect will be posted
Files are Left Open on GNOME
GNOME is leaking file handles, which is causing files to be left open.
A patch for this defect will be posted.
No Network Browsing Capability on Nautilus
There is no Novell network browsing capability in the Nautilus browser. Full capability is
provided with the Konqueror browser.
Nautilus and FAM Generate High Amounts of Traffic
Nautilus and FAM generate high amounts of traffic during file operations and severely impact the
performance of the Novell Client for Linux.
There is no indication on the user's desktop that items are in a Trash folder and can be
permanently deleted.
As long as these files remain in a .Trash-user folder on a remote file system, that system
cannot offer any salvage or purge options because the files still remain in an UNDELETED
state.
If additional files of the same name are subsequently created and then deleted, GNOME
complains that the file already exists and asks for a rename or overwrite as it tries to move the
files to the .Trash folder.
