SYMPTOMSIt is possible to be unable to dismount an NTFS volume on a Windows NT system, if a client connecting to that system did not close its connection gracefully. For example, the client machine crashed. This could manifest itself as not being able to delete the volume in question. CAUSENTFS is not returning an error when a request is made to access a file object that does not have a valid handle. NTFS processes this request, and the cache manager will have references to the object that was never closed. This will prevent the volume from being dismounted. STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 U.S. Service Pack.
