I can think of many things that would clearly annoy me:

1. Not having flat files to manage and quickly modify, quotas: exports, rc, Running config commands potentially much more dangerous then 

2. RSH? Can I run RSH commands?

3. No separate exports for qtrees

4. Not clear how to access log file of the cluster....mounting root share not possible, right? only for vServer..

5. No local user authentication mode for cifs vServer

6. Complicated model of Logical interfaces spreading around away from vServer

7. ".admin" in NFS mount path ....Common...

8. Anti-virus?

Prior to 8.2, we were only implementing CDOT where we needed the extra
performance of all the nodes appearing as a single system, or the
ability to migrate volumes between nodes.

With the release of 8.2, all the features of 7-mode that we use
are supported in CDOT.  The main one for us was Snapvault, but QOS
is also a plus.  We are not installing any more 7-mode filers.

CDOT is still a bit rough around the edges, but administering it in
some ways is easier than 7-mode.  When I have to work on our 7-mode
systems now, I find myself missing tab completion, wildcards and global
commands.

YMMV,

John
