I've read TR 3472 "Integrating Mac® OS and NetApp Storage "

and am aware of Thursby Software's DAVE: http://www.thursby.com/products/dave.html, which is of course >$100/seat, depending on number of seats purchased.

I would like to know if there is any plans to support AFP natively in Ontap?

Has anyone found any other solution to allow for multiplatform (for example PC's and Macs) use of the filer without having to worry about the data fork/resource fork issues? Yes, the macs can talk both CIFS and NFS, the problem is that all files touched by the macs look like this:
