Are you sure thats a good test? I tested it out on Solaris platform and looks like zdump reads its local zonefiles and not the filers zonefiles.
See example on Solaris.
From a solaris host running 2.8 and without the DST patch
zdump -v /filer01/etc/zoneinfo/PST8PDT |grep 2007 /filer01/etc/zoneinfo/PST8PDT Fri Feb 16 22:40:20 2007 UTC = Fri Feb 16 21:40:20 2007 /file isdst=0 /filer01/etc/zoneinfo/PST8PDT Sun Apr 1 02:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Apr 1 01:59:59 2007 /fileisdst=0 /filer01/etc/zoneinfo/PST8PDT Sun Apr 1 03:00:00 2007 UTC = Sat Mar 31 19:00:00 2007 /etc/zoneinfo/PDT isdst=1 /filer01/etc/zoneinfo/PST8PDT Sun Oct 28 01:59:59 2007 UTC = Sat Oct 27 17:59:59 2007 /etc/zoneinfo/PDT isdst=1 /filer01/etc/zoneinfo/PST8PDT Sun Oct 28 02:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Oct 28 01:00:00 2007 /file isdst=0
Same command run from a Solaris 10 box that has the PDT patch installed: zdump -v /filer01/etc/zonefinfo/PST8PDT |grep 2007 /filer01/etc/zonefinfo/PST8PDT Fri Feb 16 22:42:59 2007 UTC = Fri Feb 16 21:42:59 2007 /file isdst=0 /filer01/etc/zonefinfo/PST8PDT Sun Mar 11 02:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 /file isdst=0 /filer01/etc/zonefinfo/PST8PDT Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 UTC = Sat Mar 10 19:00:00 2007 /etc/zonefinfo/PDT isdst=1 /filer01/etc/zonefinfo/PST8PDT Sun Nov 4 09:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:59:59 2007 /etc/zonefinfo/PDT isdst=1 /filer01/etc/zonefinfo/PST8PDT Sun Nov 4 10:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 09:00:00 2007 /fileis dst=0
maybe it works differently(correctly) on Fedora, but don't have one to test. Wish there was a foolproof way to test the filers after applying the patch, -G

Anyone Have any luck getting the DST files for the timezone change from Netapp? Have a few older out of support F760 and C1105.
Naively running zdump from a Fedora system against one of the files in /etc/zoneinfo looks like it did the right thing... so I suspect there's nothing particularly special about the Netapp tzdata files. In fact comparing the output of zdump -v on EST5EDT in /etc/zoneinfo from a filer, and /usr/share/zoneinfo from a Fedora system, didn't show any differences.
