Ok, I tried chdsk on all of the drives...rebooted...but now, I can't even
see my volume shares that I have set in Server Manager. I have verified
that they exist, even in WinFile (where I usually manage my Mac
permissions). I am at a loss. I can still see my old shares, but NONE of
my shares on the new hard disk. Help!

see my volume shares that I have set in Server Manager. I have verified
that they exist, even in WinFile (where I usually manage my Mac
permissions). I am at a loss. I can still see my old shares, but NONE of
my shares on the new hard disk. Help!

Alright! Problem Solved...
Here is the deal- When I create a Macintosh Shared Volume, there is a limit
of 2gigs that the Mac client is able to see. (At least with SBS 4.5). When
I filled up one of my new volumes and left less than 2gigs of available
drive space, I was able to see the new folder I created from a PC. Go
figure- All of the work to create more room for the clients and they can't
use anything partitioned over 2 gigs. I will be looking for an updated
Apple Share driver that may fix the problem...If anyone else has a better
idea let me know :-)
Thanks everyone-

I added a 30 gig or maybe it was larger hard drive and shared it for
MAC use. I think I may have split it evenly in to two or three
partitions. I just did what the customer wanted and the way larger
than 2 gig partitons are useable for the MACs. We were not using the
partitons for Windows clients though.
