If you have an iSCSI LUN presented, then it would be exactly the same as a local disk. If you're using NFSv3 and you want to prevent local root from deleting a directory on the NetApp NFS server, using krb5+NFSv4 is probably a better choice, otherwise if you just want to prevent users from deleting directories, standard unix ACLs would work too.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Hope this helps!</P> Tue, 05 Jun 2018 02:17:12 GMT AlexDawson 2018-06-05T02:17:12Z https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/How-to-prevent-directory-from-accidental-deletion/m-p/140686#M31113 <P>We are using FAS 2552</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>We want to prevent directory from accidental deletion.
