I had an SP go bad on our array and everything transferred
to the second SP except for one volume. I attached the
unknown volume to the good SP and found the volume in
Windows 2000 server again. I re-shared the volume out as a
windows and a Macintosh volume and found dates wrong and a
host of other resource fork related issues. How do you
repair the corruption from the windows side?

Hi Bob!

Windows doesn't recognize the resource forks although storing Mac files on
NTFS volumes will preserve them. You have minor tools on a Windows server to
edit file type and creator codes for Mac files, but that's about it. I
suspect your information is gone due to corruption.

I would suggest simply restoring from a backup to a known good Mac volume.

Hope this helps! bill
