We are having an issue where one of our applcations is not playing well with mounts from a NetApp filer. The vendor says that there is an issue with the implementation of CIFS in SLES > 10.3 and that we should go back to 10.3 (not an option), try NFS (but we lose all of the Windows ACLs), or go to a different OS, such as RedHat.
I’d like to verify - has anyone heard of any issues with the CIFS implementation as it pertains to mounted shares from a NetApp filer?
thanks all in advance.

SLES11-SP3 is the current release. As a first step, insure you are on
the latest release and have all patches installed.

I have not heard of anything myself… but I don’t use NetApp devices.
A quick Google search turned up this which might provide some insight.
I haven’t checked to see if any of these issues affect SLES or whether
they may have been resolved by recent patches.

Thanks, Kevin. I hadn’t seen some of the Bugzilla reports when I previously searched.
