Hi Garrett,
I haven't rolled a filer forward beyond 31 Dec 1999 and back, but I have installed a filer which had the date set in the future, then set the clock back without problems. The files which had future dates were config files in /etc, and simply showed up with their future dates when that directory was listed.
One thing you obviously will see is entries in /etc/messages which are out of sync with real time from the period of time when the clock is set to the future.
Regards, Matt.

Hi All,
As part of my Y2K testing I intend rolling the date forward on my filer (F230, currently 5.2.1, NFS & CIFS) to just before midnight on the 31st and then watch it as it ticks over midnight. So far, so good. The issue I have (assuming the filer is Y2K compliant!) is rolling it back again.
Has anyone rolled their filer forward and then back again to put it back into production? Were there any glitches? There will be files that will have modified dates in the future, but these can be a copy of some production data which can be deleted after the test.
