I experienced this problem with session_destroy() running PHP 4.2.3 on
Windows 2000 Server SP3 and IIS 5.0.
The issue was indeed FAT vs NTFS, but not just because of the file
system, but because I had not given my INET_computername account MODIFY
access to the sessiondata directory.
This is documented on php.net, however I somehow missed it when I first
assigned permissions to the sessiondata directory (I initally put only
Read & Execute, List, Write and Read)

I did some testing as Mike did ([31 31 Mar 3:49am] [EMAIL PROTECTED])
and I try to see what is the exact value to be set for gc_maxlifetime
to work in my sistem.
BTW I use win2000+iis5+php4.2.2.
I was very surprised to see that value 37000 worked for a period of
time but later the minimum was 38000 and so on.
So it's something related to sistem time not files(to be considered
garbage) In fact garbage control in windows work like this:
at gc_maxlifetime seconds from midnight all other session files are
deleted - definitly a bug.

The fact that the filebased session handler needs a filesystem with
atime support has now been documented.

I really don't see anybody with any interest in writing code to make
this work on FAT filesystems. Don't run web servers on crap
filesystems. If you do, write your own session handler. Same goes for
filesystems where file modification timestamps are ignored. Write your
own session handler and manage the garbage collection yourself. We'll
need to document this, of course, so marking this as a documentation
problem.
