RE: df size reporting differences in ONTAP 7.0

Is it possible that the order the quotas are defined in the quota file are causing this different behavior? -----Original Message----- From: Adam McDougall [mailto:mcdouga9@egr.msu.edu] Sent: Monday, March 21, 2005 11:18 AM To: Charles Bartels Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: df size reporting differences in ONTAP 7.0 On Wed, Mar 16, 2005 at 10:51:54AM -0800, Charles Bartels wrote: > I may be confused but it sounds like you are describing the > old behavior, which 6.5.3 exhibits. Yes. But certain configurations of 7.0 do *not* have that problem. I have user quotas under a qtree in a traditional volume that show the "correct" answer when the user runs "df", meaning the user sees their partition sized to their quota. > All in all, I was alerted today that a Bug ID 154530 was created > and will be "fixed" in a future release. I took a look at that bug on the NOW site and it was disappointingly vague. It has a title, and nothing else. -C. It is publicly available now: 154530 Title 'df' reports size based on all quotas (including user/group) over NFS in a qtree Duplicate of Bug Severity 3 - Serious inconvenience Bug Status Not Fixed Product Data ONTAP Bug Type WAFL Description Formatted In releases prior to 7.0, running the 'df' command on an NFS mount of an exported qtree shows the export size as the smaller of the volume size or the qtree quota, if one exists. In 7.0, this behavior was inadvertently changed to return the size as the minimum of the volume size or any applicable quota, including user and group quotas for the user running 'df' in addition to any qtree quota.

df size reporting differences in ONTAP 7.0
by Adam McDougall 19 Mar '05

19 Mar '05

This sunday I upgraded our production FAS940 from 6.5.3 to 7.0 and noticed NFS clients are reporting the user or group quota as the volume size and free space when running df, when 6.5.3 and earlier used to report the qtree quota. I was suprised by this change and so far have been told by NetApp that it is a bug fix, not a bug. Just wanted to send a heads up to the list to let people know, and wondering if anyone else was affected negatively by this. I like part of the idea of the change but was not expecting it at all. Didn't see it in docs. Its interesting but inappropriate for some of our volumes the way we have quotas setup, and it prevents non-admins from seeing if the volume or qtree is nearing full.

RE: Inconsistent volume
by McLoughlin, John 19 Mar '05

Before doing what I list below, I would do a Ctrl-C to get into special boot options, then do a maintenance boot and do an environment status chassis -- Check on your batteries and battery temp. I believe the course of action here is to run a Ctrl-C for special boot options. When given the prompt 1-5, do not choose any. Instead, type: WAFL_check -z -- It'll ask which volumes you want to WAFL_check. Just do vol0. Follow the prompts from there. Cross your fingers. And hope. :) Thanks, John. -----Original Message----- From: k+toasters(a)ivsnet.net [mailto:k+toasters@ivsnet.net] Sent: Saturday, March 19, 2005 4:28 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Inconsistent volume Hey guys, I ran into a problem just now with an inconsistent volume.

RE: Windows Shadow Copy Client & Snapshots
by Iain Barnetson 17 Mar '05

I don't know about that, I've only just become aware that it can be used and we're on version 7.0.0.1. And I know that I couldn't get it to work before switching on the snapshots using that command. Interestingly enough, and I've not got back to NetApp about this yet, I turned it off again - as I'm still not sure about providing this facility - and it still works. But it definately didn't before turning on that setting. Now that I've switched it off again I keep expecting the facility to disappear, I've been waiting to see what happens.

We are running 6.5.3P4 and have that option turned off and STILL users with Windows Shadow Copy Client can see the previous versions of their files and folders. We deliberately turned off showing the snapshots on CIFS because our users were confused about it (most of them have "show hidden files" option turned on). We installed the shadow copy client on their machines to help them do the restores themselves without the hassle of them "seeing" multiple copies of the same files when they do a search or browse through their shares and folders. The Shadow copy client was perfect for our needs - no ~snapshot folders visible, yet users can restore previous versions by themselves. NOTE: Even with show_snapshot set to off in 6.5.3, one can go into the snapshot folders by manually typing in the path, e.g: \\<filername>\<share_name>\<dir_name>\~snapshot\ either in the Run command box or widnows explorer. This would show the traditional snapshot folders. One more reason for us to stay away from 7.0.0.1 for now. Hope NetApp reverts the behaviour back to how it was in 6.5 and earlier versions. Would they consider this as a bug ? -G On Thu, 17 Mar 2005 10:22:49 -0000, Iain Barnetson <Iain.Barnetson(a)halliburton.com> wrote: > > > You may remember I emailed asking about using Windows Shadow Copy > Client as I couldn't see any snapshots. > My config is > Filer: Data OnTap 7.0.0.1 > Clients: Windows XP sp1 & sp2 > Snapshots were set to visible from the web gui > > Jourdan Bailey of NetApp found the solution that resolved the problem > and allowed us to use the Win Shadow Copy client: > options cifs.show_snapshot on > > > Regards, > > Iain Barnetson > IT Systems Administrator > UKN Infrastructure Operations

You may remember I emailed asking about using Windows Shadow Copy Client as I couldn't see any snapshots. My config is Filer: Data OnTap 7.0.0.1 Clients: Windows XP sp1 & sp2 Snapshots were set to visible from the web gui Jourdan Bailey of NetApp found the solution that resolved the problem and allowed us to use the Win Shadow Copy client: options cifs.show_snapshot on Regards, Iain Barnetson IT Systems Administrator UKN Infrastructure Operations

RE: Requests on Slashdot for donations for OpenBSD.
by Hitz, Dave 16 Mar '05

Although NetApp's OS looks nothing like BSD (it has no user space for instance, and a very different internal structure from any UNIX kernel), we certainly did use a good bit of code from the Net/2 and BSD-lite releases, back when that was being mostly funded by Berkeley and DARPA. As Luke says, we used the TCP/IP stack. Also the boot and locore code for both Intel and Alpha. And although we don't have a user space for commands to run in, we did take chunks of user space code in commands like "ping" and "ifconfig" and massage them into kernel code. I don't know the specifics, but I'd be surprised if we hadn't found more stuff to borrow over the years. I confess that we haven't made any dollar contributions, although if you look at the code contributions I think you'll find that Guy Harris (also of NetApp) and myself were both early contributors. For instance, I contributed cp(1). (When I was done, "cp -R" was a good bit faster than the AT&T version. Instead of doing the copy for a directory in a single pass, I scanned the directory twice, doing files on the first pass and directories on the second. This optimized for the fact that in FFS files in a directory tend to end up in the same cylindar group, so doing the files all together reduces disk seeks.) So at the time, we figured that we gave some code, and took some code -- call it even-Steven. :-) Not that I would object if we found a way to make a corporate contribution. We have made some source contributions to Linux, and I've personally made some contributions to Mozilla, so we are definitely fans of the open source movement.
