New subject: Quick question about "LUN protocol type"

15 Dec 2008


      OK, I guess I phrased my question poorly.
I want to make a LUN that will only be accessed by a Linux host.  It
will have a partition-table, and one partition in that partition-table.
That partition will have a labeled ext3fs filesystem on it (Ubuntu's
"mount LABEL=..." seems more reliable if I do it that way). Should I
tell the NetApp that it's a "Windows" or a "Linux" LUN? Or will the
NetApp behave exactly the same either way?

Why not map two Luns?

If we're making a LUN with a DOS partition table and one partiton that
will be used by a Linux host, should we use the "Windows" or "Linux"
setting?  Or does it matter?
