This is a bug in IIS. MS and netapp are aware of it. Frontpage also has a bug where all content has to be on local disk so we cannot use our filer on these accounts. MS says this will be fixed in the FP99 release.
Yup. Interestingly, if you run an NFS client on the NT server and mount the Netapp filesystems that way, it *does* seem to work, even though it still "looks" like a network share. There are other problems though, with directory and file permissions, that we gave up and went with local disks for the NT boxes. Silly Microsoft. :(
I dunno... seems like Microsoft "won" to me, since you didn't abandon IIS. Instead you were coerced into a more expensive and more NT-centric solution. (Before someone questions whether or not such a solution is really more expensive, please don't... I don't want this to turn into some flamewar about Microsoft and/or NT.)
