I had the same problem.  It turned out to be a bug in ontap.  I noticed that disabling the virus scanner on my pc fixed it.  

I reported the problem to netapp and its fixed in 6.1.1R2 .... my suggestion is to upgrade.

        Subject:        file access on a particular file on cifs side seems to hang Windo        ws Explorer


Hi,

I have this weird issue with file access to a particular file on our filer.
When you click on the file it hangs the Windows Explorer for a good few
minutes before it returns control.  If I attempt to copy the MS Word file
(1.7mb) it takes an extremely long time (up to 5 minutes).  Other files of
the same size or larger copy fine from Filer to Windows 2000 Server or
Professional.  From NFS the same file copies fine.  If I look at the same
file from the snapshot directories in Windows, file access time is fine.

Here's what we have:
F760 with CIFS and NFS licenses.  
NetApp Release 6.0.1R3
oplocks globally disabled per netapp support
mixed qtrees in Windows 2000 domain and NIS environment
Windows 2000 Server/Professional (SP2) as clients

Below is a cifs session of the host that has this file open.

filer> cifs sessions HOST
users
 shares/files open

HOST (DOMAIN\username - username)
 public
           R&W-denyN   - \Share\Spring_2001_Demonstration\Demonstration -
HW SW Interface Description.doc

I'm not sure what the "denyN" in "R&W-denyN" means.  I'm curious if anyone's
run across this before.  I have 2 other NetApps in similar environments and
haven't seen this condition on either yet.  Any help is greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
