Hello Toasters.

Steve's reply was the fix. We changed exports to allow root and the problem disappered.

Thanx for the replys.

Hello Toasters.

I've come across an odd cp problem from a Linux boxen to a NetApp filer. Typically these filers are mounted by the linux boxen simply for read-only purposes, but are actually read-write mounted. Some of our admins tried to cp files from the linux box up onto the filer, but we get an error that is unexpected. The file copies, but I don't like the error. Any ideas are helpful. One thing we did, just in case, was to add a local uid for the masked owner on the NetApps, since the ownership is changed once it hits the filer to "pcuser", uid 65534. This didn't change anything, though.

Below is an example of the problem, and some mount data to assist. IP addresses have been removed.
