for root to accept netgroups would be really convenient, but NetApp said this would be fair sized performance hit. We got them to allow subnet entries into the root access list, which has proven to be workable for us.

Frank, I don't know about local netgroups anymore (got away from those a very long time ago). We do use NIS netgroups in our exports for the access= however we are still specifying hosts in the root= and the rw=.

Does anyone know if the root= and rw= will be accepting netgroups? We tried to get this to work a few months ago and it didn't. Last night I spent quite some time auditing the exports file on all 22 of our filers (each with more than 10 lines) and the root=/rw= were what took the bulk of the time.

Hi

Is it possible to use a local netgroup file instead of the NIS netgroup map on a filer ( ontap 6.1.2R2 ). I have too much hosts to put in /etc/exports file
