RE: CIFS/NFS case sensitivity...
by Muhlestein, Mark 11 Mar '02

11 Mar '02

The problem isn't just with the server, it's the client as well. Any Unix-based NFS client will also operate in a case-sensitive manner, as far as I know. Some people have used smbfs (on Linux/BSD+others?) to do achieve case insensitivity, since that uses CIFS to access files. There is another Unix client filesystem called Sharity that can do this for Solaris and several other platforms, I think. I can't vouch for how these work with the filer, but I have heard of people successfully using them. These Unix CIFS filesystems have some definite limitations, but they may be ok for what you are doing.

Hi, Geoff: You're right -- the disk warranties are supposed to be in force only directly with NetApp, but we have been able to get RMAs from Seagate for a number of broken NetApp drives. It's hit or miss, but worth a minute to plug in the serial numbers in hopes of getting lucky!

CIFS/NFS case sensitivity...
by Scott Mikusko 11 Mar '02

11 Mar '02

Reading info about case sensitivity and how the filer handles such via CIFS & NFS clients, Netapp says that CIFS is case insensitive (but case preserving) and that NFS is case sensitive. Can one make NFS shared files NOT be case sensitive? I'm assuming this is just how NFS works, but wondered if there was some option that could be set that would allow NFS to ignore case on the filer. Any ideas on this would be appreciated. -Scott

Re: Antivirus Software working wif Netapp NAS

Hi Seth, Does Carrier Scan notified the user when they try to transfer an virus file to the filer? pop out window to show that the file has been infected by virus or has been cleared by the AV server?

I am running Symantec Carrier Scan 2.1.3.19 on both NT and Win2k Servers. I am seeing very good performance but I am also running them on the same network as the Filers, the Win2K boxes have GB interfaces and the NT box has a trunct 200MB connection. I have been running on NT since last April with no major issues. >From: "BK LIM" <alf1650(a)hotmail.com> >To: toasters(a)mathworks.com >Subject: Antivirus Software working wif Netapp NAS >Date: Sat, 09 Mar 2002 01:53:54 +0800 > >Hi Toasters, > >Anyone using the Antivirus Software working with Netapp box right now? >How is the performance?

Re: Hidden .snapshot on NFS?
by Mike Schiraldi 09 Mar '02

09 Mar '02

> try this. > vol options vol0 nosnapdir on > should be able to work This appears to completely disable the directory -- i can't even cd into it. I've been on systems where you didn't see it in, say, ls, but you could still change into the directory: $ ls .snapshot ls: .snapshot: No such file or directory $ cd .snapshot $ ls hourly.0 hourly.2 [snip] However, our installation can't do that. Has anyone been able to get this behavior over NFS?

Use for bad drives
by John Coke 08 Mar '02

08 Mar '02

I have a couple of expired 18GB FC drives and am wondering what to do with the bodies. I do not want to throw them away because electronics are not good for the environment. Does NetApp take them back for "recycling." I don't really care about getting any money for them though I would like a prepaid shipping container :-) John Coke Information Security Specialist, Senior Hostmaster - RHCE, CCNA Williams Communications ph: 405.717.4895 cell: 405.209.8519 PGP fingerprint: 272F C31D 82C5 2C23 531F 65FF F56E 3951 C3B9 DB51 PGP key ID 0xC3B9DB51 (pgp.mit.edu) For your safety, this email has been encoded in double ROT13.

Hidden .snapshot on NFS?
by Mike Schiraldi 08 Mar '02

08 Mar '02

Is it possible to hide .snapshot when using NFS instead of CIFS? We've tried options.nfs.show_snapshot=off and even, just for kicks, options.cifs.show_snapshot=off ... but it still shows up. Is this a known limitation? Thanks
