The .snapshot directory is visible at the NFS mount point, but invisible in subdirectories. When doing rm -fr the NFS client will try to remove the .snapshot directory if it is visible.
Maybe this is a silly question -- if it is, someone whack me up-side the head with the google results.
Why isn't there a way to walk and manage the file system(s) from the filer itself? Or, is there, and I've just missed it?
Like, I'd like to be able to telnet to the filer, login as root and do:
cd /vol/vol1/ mkdir foo rm -r bar cd /vol/vol1/homes chown fflintst:bedrock fflintst
etc.
