The story I've heard in the past (albeit second or third hand) is that Netapp is not interested in interop with non-windows clients. It's possible however that this is not the case and my info is wrong. I'm not a netapp customer, so I don't have a direct line to their support organization. If that's not the case, then I'd be more than happy to work with Netapp to help them eliminate these bugs. They're a frequent source of pain for users on our mailing lists. Obviously, their code is closed-source so we can't offer patches, but we can help them analyze traces and point out protocol errors if it would help them track down these problems. -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
