Clean installs of 10.3.9, 10.4.2, 10.4.2 Server all exhibit this
symptom on my LAN.
I was referring to a clean, client with a local home directory more
so than the server.
The backing store may be the problem as Xsan may not be providing a
device name that the Finder is happy with. At least according to an
Apple SE who has recreated the problem.
It's not particularly special. To the client it's not an XSan volume
but and AFP volume.
More symptoms of the bug:
1. Mount 3 share points, move them all to the dock at once works
fine. Move them one at a time and only the first one stays in the
dock.
Wel that would point more towards a localized object issue at the
Finder end rather than with XSan, AFP, or even sharepoints in general.
2. No bug if sharepoints are mounted via SMB instead of AFP.
3. I actually have 4 servers as part of my Xsan setup (2 MDCs, 2
file servers). The symptoms occur if I try to mount from any of the
servers.
Point 2 leads me to believe it's an AFP filesystem problem.
It could be a problem with how the APF sharepoint is described and
not be a problem with the AFP sharing,yet alone the /filesystem/.
Your point #1 would suggest this more simply rather than inventing
more complex design issues in a filesystem.
Just not sure if it's on the server or client side, especially if
it's a bug in the client FS on how it handles Xsan volumes.
Well the client isn't seeing an XSan volume. It's seeing an AFP
volume. With AFP volume object descriptors, and the Finder and Dock
are responsible for any mangling those. To the user the backing store
of the sharepoint is already abstracted and the user is ignorant.
