Not yet tested, but they did fix CIFS running on only 1 proc at a time (now multithreaded and shouldn’t be an issue with competing for resources from WAFL anymore).  Looking forward to that, especially with changenotify and other issues that can cause problems on older systems!

Subject: Data Ontap 7.2

I noticed that Netapp GA'd 7.2 on the 3rd of August. I did a bug fix report and noticed that a lot of CIFS bugs were fixed between the GD release 7.04 and 7.2. I also noticed the same thing when I compared 7.1.1 and 7.2. I've also heard that CIFS performs a lot better on multiproc systems with this OS. Has anyone tested this out under a load and does the OS provide better CIFS performance without any reliability side affects or impact to other protocols such as NFS? I have it installed on a test system but I don't really have a load on it yet.

Thanks
