AppleShare: Responding to System Crashes and ID=29


This article describes what to do about AppleShare system crashes that give
an error ID=29 and restart as the only option.

When an error occurs on the file server, AppleShare tries to react to the
error. If successful, it does some general housecleaning before reporting
the error to the user as error 29. This housecleaning includes writing
buffers to disk and closing open files, like the PDS file.

Because the server is reporting errors, use the AppleShare Admin program to
verify the volumes for consistency. It is also possible that there is a
problem with the file server hardware. It may be prudent to verify the
integrity of the hardware. If the errors continue, it may be necessary to
rebuild the server from scratch.
