Look at this screen shot. It's of a users folders snapshot directory. http://planetevans.com/netapp/snapshot.jpg
You can see that all the snapshots after nightly.3 are regular files. When I double click on them they want me to choose a program to open it with.
This is of the directory \filer\finance\llevinson~snapshot
If I go through \filer\finance~snapshot<snapshot>\llevinson I can access everything just fine.
Also several days ago (the day that lines up with the bad snapshots) everything from \filer\finance\llevinson (the live data) disappeared and we had to pull it from the last snapshot (hourly.0 which was good)
I'm working with NetApp right now. Originally I had 6.1.3R2 and they said there were several CIFS issues with that version of ONTAP, so I upgraded to 6.3.1R1. Unfortunately (or fortunately) it only happens once a month or less. Has anyone seen anything like this before?
