One of our customers is doing some evaluations of netapp. While evaluating the new server he was using Windows(NT)2000. He has defined some directories and files on the server from the NT. While/after playing around (setting) with the security features on the just defined files and directories the netapp server will hang. Only reboot of the sever will revive it. The customer claims he can recreate the problem at will. Has anyone encountered such problems. Do any of you have any words of wisdom? The customer dos not like to accept the fact that win2000 is not yet formally supported. he claims that win2000 talks CIFS, and even if MS is doing wrong things at most the filer should complain but for sure not hang... ---

Geesh..talk about a loose-loose situation.

I would not expect NetApp to spend more than a _few_ man hours on this problem, while they continue to hammer out solid released for solid software platforms.

While I agree it should not hang, theres no way to tell what NT2000 feature is not working properly.
