IHAC who had to make an upgrade from 7.0.3 due to SnapMirror bug. 7.0.6 would be sufficient but I convinced him to jump to 7.2.2 due to some interesting features (both releases are GD). I have studied upgrade guide, bugs and all other documentation and I have found no potential problem. But I was wrong... Customer's scripts stopped to work because NetApp introduced undocumented "feature": access rights displayed by NFS3 client on NTFS volumes are empty (all files have d---------) although access rights are correctly mapped.
NetApp provided some kind of workaround but displayed access rights are always only rough approximation. Is there any Unix tool that can read native NTFS ACLs? (SecureShare can read Unix rwx from Windows hosts however it cannot be scripted...) It will solve the customer's problem for ever (NetApp can always change the way of approximation in future releases...)
Best regards,
Jacek
