[Weeks, Thomas]

Since this is not an official NetApp supported site.. I would think this a good place to start this FAQ...

BE FOREWARNED! THIS INFORMATION CAN BE LETHAL IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING OR JUST START RUNNING SOME OF THESE COMMANDS!

Does anyone here have an FAQ on the rc_toggle_basic command set?

I've know about them for a while now but have never been able to

make

...

full use of them.

I have printed out all the commands but don't want to run any of the unknown ones without knowing exactly what they each do...

Netapp is kind of sensitive to this - they don't like it known that the filer does a lot more than is apparent. I guess it cuts into the "simplicity" aspect of the product.

HOWEVER :)

I think a FAQ is a noble cause. I'd like to go ahead and take a crack at one. If you could send me the list of commands, I'll send you back the ones that I know off the top of my head. I'll try to keep it going and publish it (obliquely) on toasters.

Don't run 'zero_divide' - DOT is apparently math-impaired and does not do anything intelligent with X/0. It does reveal a sense of humor on the part of the developers. Did you notice that the file-system checker is called 'wack'? Most of the others seemed (relatively) harmless, or at least a little more obvious, some don't work at all.

[Weeks, Thomas] Hmm...

Well... I'm afraid to run any on our filer as it is our main production box... Although I have already runa few that seemed to be obvious...

Anyone documented any of these commands? How about giving us some feedback? (or just send it to Kelly since he has volunteered to start the FAQ.. that is.. unless NetApp doesn't mind providing some of us power users with some simple form of FAQ/docs... ;v)

I can be descrete...
