Novell Netware Patch 312PT8 and File Corruption (Network Compatibility)
Created at 25 JUL 1996 11:07AM
Revelation Software has revieved information from Novell regarding the 312PT8 patch for Netware 3.12 Servers:
This patch contains a faulty ZEROBFIX.NLM. This NLM was written to handle 0 byte files on CD-ROM drives. However, it has the unintended effect of increasing all 0 byte files on your server to the size of the default cluster. Please be advised that if you download the 312PT8 patch, you should not install the ZEROBFIX.NLM. Novell will ship an updated NLM in the 312PT9 patch.
If you run with the ZEROBFIX.NLM from 312PT8 you will corrupt your system.
