Here's the trouble I'm running into and the question that it raises.
I'm getting ready to turn on CIFS on our filer (F820) so that our users have one file system to deal with and not two. In my experiments I have seen some strange behavior that goes something like this:
If the qtrees are unix mode then my unix host that has root privs can see and manipulate files just fine.
If the qtrees are mixed mode then on some files the unix host can manipulate files and on some it cannot.
It can even get to the point that a file/directory that a user creates under windows cannot be accessed by that same user from unix (if the filer is in mixed mode).
So, my questions are:
- Has anyone seen this behavior before?
Often enough that we decided to go away from mixed mode. We have ended up selecting unix on filesystems mostly accessed by unix users and ntfs on filesystems mainly used by windows users. It seemed to create less confusion that way.
I haven't tried mixed mode witj ONTAP 6.x though.
