SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You have a Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003-based computer that contains Network File System (NFS)-shared files. These NFS-shared files reside on a volume that has Single Instance Store (SIS) functionality enabled.

In this scenario, the extended file attributes of the NFS-shared files are missing.

<div class="cause_section">

CAUSE
This problem occurs because of interoperability issues between SIS and NFS-shared files that have extended file attributes. The extended file attributes are lost when the NFS files are groveled.

Technical support for x64-based versions of Microsoft Windows
Your hardware manufacturer provides technical support and assistance for x64-based versions of Windows. Your hardware manufacturer provides support because an x64-based version of Windows was included with your hardware. Your hardware manufacturer might have customized the installation of Windows with unique components. Unique components might include specific device drivers or might include optional settings to maximize the performance of the hardware. Microsoft will provide reasonable-effort assistance if you need technical help with your x64-based version of Windows. However, you might have to contact your manufacturer directly. Your manufacturer is best qualified to support the software that your manufacturer installed on the hardware.
