The counter argument is that if one does not change any hidden options from it's default value, you don't need to know what they are set to and hence they are not visible.

And if one wanted to make sure all your filers are set to same option, just make sure all the options that show up using the 'options' command are same .

Folks,

Is there some secret way to display _all_ available options and their settings? The documentation I've been able to find doesn't list all options which show up in the "options" command's output, and some options which _are_ documented don't always show up in that output either.

For example, on both our new (v6.1R1) and old (v5.3.6R2) filers, cifs.save_case (which _is_ documented) won't show up in the complete listing, although you can query its value specifically. The recently discussed "cifs.nfs_root_ignore_acl" option doesn't seem show up in the show-all listing until you change it from "off" to "on" (and the latter doesn't even show up in a search of NOW).

So how the heck can I be sure that my new filer has all the same option settings as my old one, if I can't even get a listing of all the old option settings?

Suggestions are welcome....
