RE: Implementing User and Group Quotas
by mark.muhlestein＠netapp.com 27 Jun '00

A couple of things to be aware of: * You can't convert an existing directory to a qtree so you might have to move some things around. * Make sure your NT users are mapping to distinct UNIX users. By default, if there is no UNIX user corresponding to an NT user those users are mapped to "pcuser". That's not what you want because all NT users will have the same quota since quotas are currently only allowed for UNIX security objects. You can test the mappings using the "wcc" filer console command.

Daniel... two brief answers to your questions. #1. You do not have to start from scratch and create two volumes. You can create the quotas you want using qtrees. In fact for maximum performance you would be best off with the one larger volume than two smaller ones given the configuration you described. #2. The filer's native dump command works for directories (qtrees) as well as entire volumes. Just remember when you go to restore a qtree you will need to create the qtree first, then run the restore. The Data ONTAP System Administrator's Guide and the NOW site both have more detailed information on configuring qtrees and running dump/restore. I'm sure the other toaster users here can offer great information about what is working (or not working) for them. :-----Original Message----- :From: Daniel Oxenhandler [mailto:daniel@sprintlabs.com] :Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2000 10:14 AM :To: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' :Subject: Implementing User and Group Quotas : : :Friends, : :We have an F-740 with 14 - 18GB drives (2 hot spares) configured as one :large volume.

RE: PCNFS file/directory permission.
by Adam.Fox＠netapp.com 27 Jun '00

There is probably a way to do it via PC-NFS, but you can also use a free NT tool from NetApp called SecureShare Access. It's a dll that is used by things like Windows Explorer. It's a tab like the security tab for windows. Give it a try if you like. http://now.netapp.com/NOW/tools/supported.shtml It's near the bottom. Don't confuse it with the Account Migrator, you want the SecureShare Access.

RE: Problem in symbolic links
by mark.muhlestein＠netapp.com 26 Jun '00

26 Jun '00

The cifs.symlinks.enable option just controls whether or not symlinks are followed by CIFS client access. Pre-existing symlinks are fine. Typical problems with CIFS and symlinks are * By default the filer will not follow symbolic links which result in cyclic directory structure. Since CIFS clients don't understand symlinks, we display them as if they were the same object as the destination of the symlink. Programs like "FastFind", which tries to index directories, wind up getting very confused if you have symlinks that refer to directories above the current one. If it is critical to follow such symlinks anyway, you can turn off the cifs.symlinks.cycleguard option. * Symlinks that leave the share are not permitted. That is because it would violate the share-level permissions, or even allow access to portions of the filesystem that were not intended to be shared. Also, symlinks that refer to destinations off the filer are not supported. These types of symlinks however will be supported in the near future using a secure method.

A question about /etc/log/httpd.log
by Chris Thompson 26 Jun '00

26 Jun '00

We run an F740 which is not licensed for HTTP. Nevertheless, it listens on port 80 and rejects all requests with a "503 HTTP not enabled", and also logs them in /etc/log/httpd.log. That's actually sometimes convenient, as it shows up hackers doing site-wide scans for WWW exposures, without them being too lost in noise. However, there's a peculiarity about the way /etc/log/httpd.log is written which I would like to understand better. It seems as though entries are often not actually written for hours or even days, until a cluster of entries (typically those from our own "friendly probing" service!) fills up some sort of buffer.
