An AppleShare system error occurred

Does anyone with Intel Xserve AFP reshare from Xsan volume is getting this Error on AFP clients?

We replaced our file server from PowePC to Intel Xserver and we get this Error, the workaround is to stop start the Xsan volume.
My suspicion is that when MDC failover occurs to intel Xserver something gets screwed but I cant test this since this is a production environment...
I opened bug report 5021854 at Apple bug reporter I will post there any info that comes up from users here.

This is a known issue and Apple is investigating
Does stop and start of Xsan volume help you?

no it does not.

Although i can access the volume/pool as a guest over AFP, but nothing with credentials.

AppleTech Support has told me I need a unique serial number for my NAS head ( aka AFP server acting as sans client). Sounds like foo to me.

Hey guys,

I have also encountered this issue while setting up an XSAN network last week. Whenever a share is enabled through AFP that is on a SAN volume, all AFP shares generate the "APPLE FILESYSTEM ERROR HAS OCCURED" message from clients attempting to access the shares. Once the AFP share on the SAN is disabled, all other AFP shares work again. Yes the equipment consisted of Intel X-Serves running 10.4.8 and XRAID 1.5.1. All other servers(MDC,SMDC,FileServer) were on 10.4.8 as well.

OK,

Let's end this thread.

Update all of the servers and clients to 10.4.9 and this problem will go away.

Thanks for that.
Can you provide more info on that, did you had the same error on an intel Xserver and 10.4.9 solve it on the clients side?

I had the exact same issues.

All Intel Servers, XSAN, Shared Directory via AFP from the SAN, etc...

Turn on the AFP service and everything is fine.

Share the directory on the SAN and BANG, nothing works. (Share a directory from DAS and it always works. The SAN was the issue).

Updated to 10.4.9 on the servers and clients and everything now works as expected.
