We run our main filesystem with UNIX-style file permissions, and have both NFS and CIFS running.
The problem we have is that if a user is in more than 16 groups, the filer will ignore the 17th and higher groups, as if that user is not a member. This is only a problem on the CIFS/Windows side.
NFS itself has a limit of 16 groups for user credentials.
With UNIX-style file permissions there shouldn't be an influence caused by CIFS groups. Ontap will ignore these and base file access permissions on the UNIX uid and UNIX gids (as defined in the group file or NIS) for that uid.
