We tried to do this but there is a known bug in OnTap that prevents Samba from correctly opening a CIFS share on the filers.

this is interesting, are there any details about this bug ?

Samba's client isn't officially supported by Netapp, and there is at least one bug that fouls up smbclient pretty badly (bug #12563). But that bug, and all the other smbclient problems that I'm aware of, will be fixed in the upcoming 5.3.4 release. I just tried smbclient 2.0.5a against a filer here running a 5.3.4 test build and every command seemed to work. Be aware, though: that's about all the smbclient testing we've ever done, so no guarantees.

This sounds great.

I think smbfs should be OK, too, but I haven't tried it in quite a while.

smbclient and smbfs are (almost) the same. Both build on top of the same samba client library.

BTW, I have to thank you all again for your answers. It is rare that you find such helpful people.
