The only problem i get, was that my local NT administrator account (toaster\administrator) disapear. In a lot of the NTFS ACL's, the owner was unknown and/or an unknown user had ACL's. When you change some permissons of the unknown user in 6.1R1, sometimes it cause a PANIC (known BUG in 6.1R1 (bug 40961)). After a few PANIC's, i added the local user with useradmin and my unknown user was back known and my problem was also gone.

Best regards,

Reinoud

i'm upgrading our NFS based 760 cluster to 61R1. easy enough, i've done that before.

our NT team has asked that i upgrade their shiny new 760 CIFS based machine to 61R1 at the same time. i plan to do it using the same procedure, but am wondering if there are any CIFS-based gotchas.

i am not a cifs-friendly person, so this is pretty much black art and our NT team is still pretty new to netapps. sort of the blind in one eye leading the blind in the other eye.

this will be during a scheduled outage, so losing CIFS connexions due to reboots is not an issue.

thanks
