That's exactly what I wanted to hear!!!!

Now to let 7.2 cook a bit longer :-)

(the Access-Based Enumeration for Windows is also another great feature, FYI)

Flexshare is indeed the 'commercial' name of gardrail, availible in 7.2. It's indeed a great killer ap.

See also the latest techontap: there's a nice demo.

Blake,

Flexshare - is this the 'guardrail' technology that enables QoS of particular datasets? Or is that 'future' at the moment?

We are testing it as well. FlexShare looks to be some killer technology we are excited to look at. But the mutliproc changes I think are key to this release. Which almost makes me want to wait until 7.2.2 or 7.2.3 before thinking about it seriously. Because if it's good now, wait until they perfect it!

Not yet tested, but they did fix CIFS running on only 1 proc at a time

multithreaded and shouldn't be an issue with competing for resources

WAFL anymore). Looking forward to that, especially with changenotify

other issues that can cause problems on older systems!

I noticed that Netapp GA'd 7.2 on the 3rd of August. I did a bug fix

report

and noticed that a lot of CIFS bugs were fixed between the GD release

7.04

and 7.2. I also noticed the same thing when I compared 7.1.1 and 7.2.

I've

also heard that CIFS performs a lot better on multiproc systems with

this

OS. Has anyone tested this out under a load and does the OS provide

better

CIFS performance without any reliability side affects or impact to

other

protocols such as NFS? I have it installed on a test system but I

don't

really have a load on it yet.

Thanks
