AFP error -5018 mapped to EIO (NetApplication/NetLibrary)

Hi!

In my console reports I find many entries like:

AFP error -5018 mapped to EIO

OK! This means: AFP Object not found


The problem occures since my replic of my OD-Master died.

This replic offered AFP-Services and so it offered a network-application share and a network-library share as automounts.


For sure, this replic and the server doesn't exist anymore! And so also this shares doesn't exist anymore!


In "All Network-Shares" I found two folder (or alias) "Applications" and "Library" on every client. This shares does not exist (see obove).


How can I remove this no more existing shares and so clear my systemlog from "AFP error -5018 mapped to EIO" messages and get some programs start faster. - This really slows down to start some applications.


When I create a new application share it will not recognized on clients... :-(


It would be very nice to get some help for this problem.

Thanx a lot!

Peter.

Hi!

The solution for this problem is:

1. Turn off AFP at OD-Master

2. Reboot OD-Master

3. Turn on AFP at OD-Master


Just to let you know!


Peter.

Hey Peter,


I'm running into the same error, but I have a different situation. I'm running a 10.6.8 server, and cetrain shares have just stopped sharing for unkown reasons, and any amount of diabling and enabling sharing (along with modifying permissions) isn't helping. I re-created a share and it mounted normally for a few minutes, but then exhibited the same behavior.


I tried the steps you wrote above, but it had no effect. Do you have any other steos to try?


Thanks!
