Xsan: Issues after installing Xsan 1.1 or earlier on Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later

If you install Xsan 1.1 or earlier on a computer that has already been updated to Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later, you may see these issues:

• Xsan volumes will not unmount properly (which may subsequently cause the system to become unresponsive or applications/processes to unexpectedly quit).
• Xsan volumes will not appear in the Sharing section of Workgroup Manager.

To prevent this behavior, follow these steps on each Xsan client and metadata controller (MDC).

1. Download this disk image.
2. Copy the file "acfsfs-Info.plist" from the disk image to the root of your home directory.
3. In the Terminal, run the following commands to install acfsfs-Info.plist into the appropriate location:
   

   $ sudo cp acfsfs-Info.plist /System/Library/Filesystems/acfs.fs/Contents/Info.plist
   $ sudo chmod 0644 /System/Library/Filesystems/acfs.fs/Contents/Info.plist
   $ sudo chown root:wheel /System/Library/Filesystems/acfs.fs/Contents/Info.plist

4. Restart the system.
