Then you have permissions.. What's the share level permissions and then you need to check NTFS rights

Can you check the CIFS shares on the filer to see where c$ and etc$ are pointing?

Ok, it should be pointing to vol0, can you do a "vol status vol0" "df -g vol0" "qtree status vol0"?

You might want to increase the size of vol0, this is where the Data OnTap operating system files are kept. The C$ and etc$ shares will open to directories on this volume.

The used space looks really low, what version of Data OnTap are you running?
