i had the same problem, you probably have a cifs restriction on root there is an option...

cifs.nfs_root_ignore_acl on

that will work around it.

Any & Help would be great, Brian

Filer Info: NetApp Release 6.1.3 filer> exportfs /vol/vol0 -access=rex,root=sun /data -root=sun /home -root=sun

filer> ping sun sun is alive

...

From the Sun Box:

[root@sun /import] mount filer:/vol/vol0 /import/filer

[root@sun /import] mount | grep filer /import/filer on filer:/ read/write/setuid/soft/bg/remote

[root@sun /import] ls /import/filer /import/filer: Permission denied

But this works: [root@sun /import] mount filer:/data /import/filer [root@sun /import] ls /import/filer FootNotes/

Note: I can mount the root directory via CIFS with no problem
