Hi,

that was my point as well, because we had one file on cifs volume which had about 100 open cifs sessions and i was not able to delete them. We only found out, because a user was complaining about that file, because one was not able to access the file anylonger.

But the strange thing really is, how one file on one volume can affect a whole system?!?

Really weired :D

Best Regards and nice weekend

Jochen

Perhaps CIFS was locking something that you also have exported via NFS, and you found a bug....

Hi toasters,

today we had a strange issue on one of our R200 with 7.2.3 on it.

The nstore was not serving nfs at all. There was no messages in the logs and the r200 was feeling quite well doing some cifs-ops and some other stuff.

We really had no clue what was going on and support was confused, too. The only idea we had was to reboot the system (although ontap is no windows, ha :D), so we connected to the console and started to shut down cifs first in order to shut down the system and suprise suprise, as soon as cifs termination was finished NFS started to work again.

We then started cifs too and now everything is fine again. I am really confused how this is related. Has anybody ever had this effect or an idea upon this?

Best Regards and thanks in advance

Jochen
