OK, I guess I phrased my question poorly.

I want to make a LUN that will only be accessed by a Linux host.  It will have a partition-table, and one partition in that partition-table. That partition will have a labeled ext3fs filesystem on it (Ubuntu’s “mount LABEL=…” seems more reliable if I do it that way). Should I tell the NetApp that it’s a “Windows” or a “Linux” LUN? Or will the NetApp behave exactly the same either way?

Why not map two Luns?
