I'm sure it wasn't deleted by a user because this happens about once a
month to different people. Before we migrated to the NetApp filer it
never happened so I doubt it's user error.
We have a CIFS license only, sorry can't check it through NFS.
The llevinson folder is our CFO who's been here for 15+ years but most
importantly her folder was migrated from the old file server last summer
with everyone else. So it's defiantly not newer than any of the
snapshots.

snapshot takes your filesystem state at a moment, what about a directory
you create after the snapshot had been taken ?
if you go into this directory, (after had mapped the cifs shares)
obviously, this directory was not previously catched in a snapshot
for this, the normal operation of the filer is to display snapshot as
files
as I can see your image, I would guess that this directory llevinson was
created after the nightly.3 snapshot was taken and before nightly.2 was
taken.
so, if this is true, then there is no problem with your filer
if it is wrong, then there should be a serious problem with the filer
can you check this snapshot state from any other machines ? (try from
unix)
also, are you absolutly really sure that the directory was not delete
then recreate (by any user or any application) that would explain this
situation

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?
