Can anyone fill me in on the use of this _wac_ command , what it does, how often it needs to be done, and whehter or not the filer requires downtime to do it?
I'll chime in here too... our first Netapp (an F220) went into production about April 1997 and we're up to a dozen production filers now. I vaguely remember diddling with `wacky' a long time ago, but it was more out of curiousity (playing on a test filer) than anything else. I've purposely removed drives, powered down shelves, unplugged FC-AL cables, flipped the filer's power on and off rapidly, etc. and never had to run wack, much less lose a filesystem.
