We are currently running 7.2.4 on a pair of 3040 filers and considering upgrading if there are reduplication improvements, but currently we don't have any panics or known problems. Are the waters safe with 7.2.6.1 or 7.3.1 lately, I haven't heard any complaints in a few months? Anything to watch out for?

Personally, I'm waiting for this one to cook a little longer (safely
hiding behind 7.2.5.1p6). If you're already running 7.2.6 I'd say there
isn't a lot of downside for you to upgrade, in fact I'd recommend it as
there are some pretty nasty panic situations that might affect you. (see
below)
1. Bug ID 267622: This can panic the storage controller during boot
if an error causes a not-fully-initialized syslogd to need to report the
problem, and/or if any of the following conditions match: -Lookup of a hostname specified in the /etc/syslog.conf file
fails -The root volume is full -The /etc/syslog.conf file is misconfigured and contains invalid
entries
2. Bug ID 318070: This affects only FAS270 systems with expansion
shelves using ESH4 modules and where there are issues or configuration
changes with those shelves. This results in a panic of the FAS270
storage controller.
3. Bug ID 324637: Under some circumstances, if a file with Windows
NT ACL (access control list) is opened for overwrite by a CIFS client on
a storage controller, it can cause a panic. This requires a high
load on the system for quotas to be enabled, and for a Windows NT ACL to
be associated with the file that is opened for overwrite by a CIFS
client. Due to the high load, the Windows NT ACL buffer could
potentially be recycled before it is used, leading to a panic.

Subject: Re: Ontap 7.2.6 is under investigating
Has anyone deployed 7.2.6.1?
It is GD but wanted to get some feedback - I had a lot of problems
with 7.2.6 but it resolved my backup pains so I didn't down grade.
Thanks.
