we are using 10GBE and 7.3.1 under heavy load with no issues and even under netapp guidance. i saw the BURT but we couldnt get our or any support to actually explain to us what the issue was or how it was triggered.
i did however see several people having tons of issues with 7.2.6 on the lists that left me not feeling good about that release.

There is a bug I know of with 7.3.1 and 10gigE. I'd wait for 7.3.2 if you're using them.

We are currently running 7.2.4 on a pair of 3040 filers and considering upgrading if there are reduplication improvements, but currently we don't have any panics or known problems. Are the waters safe with 7.2.6.1 or 7.3.1 lately, I haven't heard any complaints in a few months? Anything to watch out for?

isn't a lot of downside for you to upgrade, in fact I'd recommend it
as
there are some pretty nasty panic situations that might affect you.
(see
below)
- Bug ID 267622: This can panic the storage controller during boot
if an error causes a not-fully-initialized syslogd to need to report
the
problem, and/or if any of the following conditions match: -Lookup of a hostname specified in the /etc/syslog.conf file fails -The root volume is full -The /etc/syslog.conf file is misconfigured and contains invalid entries
- Bug ID 318070: This affects only FAS270 systems with expansion
shelves using ESH4 modules and where there are issues or configuration changes with those shelves. This results in a panic of the FAS270 storage controller.
- Bug ID 324637: Under some circumstances, if a file with Windows
NT ACL (access control list) is opened for overwrite by a CIFS client
on
a storage controller, it can cause a panic. This requires a high load on the system for quotas to be enabled, and for a Windows NT ACL
to
be associated with the file that is opened for overwrite by a CIFS client. Due to the high load, the Windows NT ACL buffer could potentially be recycled before it is used, leading to a panic.

Has anyone deployed 7.2.6.1?
It is GD but wanted to get some feedback - I had a lot of problems with 7.2.6 but it resolved my backup pains so I didn't down grade.
Thanks.
