I’m not sure if the SMB client change is related to your problem but Apple replaced Samba with their own SMB client between 10.6 and 10.7.
One thing I haven’t been able to (easily) confirm is whether the 10.7 SMB client supports CIFS 2.0 or 2.1.

Why not use NFS from the Mac Client?
Did it work from 10.6? Maybe Apple modified their CIFS client a bit that now breaks with ONTAP?

Hi Toasters,
We are sharing a Unix sec. style qtree to (at least one) MacOS
10.7 client via CIFS and they are having problems saving
files with MS Word. The client writes the new file to
a temporary file and then fails to rename it into place.
The temp file exists and is correct because we can verify
this from a NFS client.
A Unix sec. style share appears to be a VFAT (not NTFS)
volume to a CIFS client. Under the hood the filer enforces
Unix permissions, of course, but all that is hidden from
the CIFS client. I suspect that MacOS is looking
for a permission that VFAT does not support and is
erroneously assuming it cannot rename the file.
Just curious if this rings a bell with anyone and if there
is any documentation or workaround for it. We are running
DOT 8.0.1 7mode on the filer.
I need to get together with the user who is having trouble
and use the sectrace command to see if the filer is actually
denying access.
