Best I could find was this apple technote about
stopping the creation of .DS_Store files
All I have been able to find on the ._ files is this
article about deleting them - Some of the comments on this page say not
to.
I have been deleting them on my home shares without
having issues.
I do loose the icons for my video files
though.

I've read TR 3472 "Integrating Mac® OS and NetApp
Storage "
http://www.netapp.com/library/tr/3472.pdf
and
am aware of Thursby Software's DAVE: http://www.thursby.com/products/dave.html,
which is of course >$100/seat, depending on number of seats purchased.
I would like to know if there is any plans to support AFP natively in
Ontap?
Has anyone found any other solution to allow for multiplatform
(for example PC's and Macs) use of the filer without having to worry about the
data fork/resource fork issues? Yes, the macs can talk both CIFS and NFS, the
problem is that all files touched by the macs look like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 501 foo 82 Jun 6
