...

If someone opens up one of our applications, the NAC keeps all related libraries, execs, and datafiles locked until the application is exited.

Our goal is to match the CIFS behavior of an NT server as closely as possible. Do you see a difference between NetApp and NT in this area?

Of course, where NFS and CIFS interact, there is no model to emulate exactly, but for CIFS-only interactions, NT is the target behavior.

[Weeks, Thomas] What version of OnTap are you running? We need to start evaluation of 5.0 but didn't want to instll it (for testing) on our production server until I can be assured that it won't crash and burn.
