Java Desktop System Release 3 Troubleshooting Guide

1.2 Cannot Open Files in the File Manager

Platform 

  • Solaris OS for SPARC systems

  • Solaris OS for x86 systems

Problem  

Change Request Number: 5107407 

If you cannot open files in the file manager, then the problem might be caused by dead NFS mounts. If you have a Solaris system, then there is probably a folder called /wabidisk, which is a dead NFS mount. If you open the / directory in the file manager, then you cannot open other folders in that window immediately after you have opened the file manager window. The dead mount/wabidisk points to a system that is removed from the network, disconnected, or powered down. This problem only affects siblings of a dead NFS mount, after you open the parent.

Solution  

Wait for a few minutes, and you should be able to open the folders successfully. If you experience this problem, then you should request your system administrator to clean up your NFS mounts.
