I've had users with RedHat 6.2 through 7.1 connecting to our filers, running various versions of ONTAP 6.x. The only strangeness we've run into seems more related to our network - machines running the Linux kernel 2.4.x tend to hang on NFS writes when using UDP and a packet size greater than a byte. It started around the time CodeRed starting making the rounds, and since I haven't been able to talk to whoever's in charge of the larger network here, we've just worked around it - I assume they're filtering some types of UDP traffic, since around that time we had trouble serving NFS from some Linux boxes that hadn't given us trouble previously.
I'm not sure what kernel 2.4 does differently from 2.2 when making NFS connections, but the workaround has been either to use TCP instead of the default UDP when mounting NFS shares, or to set the rsize and wsize to less than a byte.

Hello,
Dose anyone had experience about filer with RedHat 7.1 or later ? I know RedHad 6.x working with ONTAP.
Please let me know, If you had experience, What ONTAP version you use ?
Thank you, -Motoyoshi -- Kunihiko Motoyoshi Phone:+81-3-3649-4937 / Fax:+81-3-3649-6425 Storage Group / Product Support Dept. CTC Technology
How do you read/write less than a byte?
Frank
