Cifs within a Cifs

SVHO — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 14:43:27 GMT

Let me give an example

\\fs1\ac-rn$ (would list the following directories)

myFolder1

myPicture1\vault (another cifs called vault$)

myMoney1

\\fs1\vault$ (would list the following directories, )

moreJunk1

morePic1

1) is the above doable with NetApp?

Thanks for reading.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting NetApp community and regarding your query yes you can create a CIFS share within a share

Ex:-

NAS1> cifs shares -add test1 /vol/cifsvol/testfolder

NAS1> cifs shares -add test3 /vol/cifsvol/testfolder/testfolder2

Thanks,

Nayab
