Unknown CIFS shares after 7MTT

Hi everyone!

I recently migrated my first 7mode -> to Ontap 9.6, everything seems to be working fine except there are a couple of shares that appeared on the Ontap system that were not on the 7Mode filer. Do you guys have any idea as to why they are there? I think it may have to do with the user homedirectories but I am unsure and don't want to unshare because I don't want to mess the users home directories.

The shares in question are highlighted in red and have a "~".

These correlate to relative home directories for CIFS.

I'm not sure how they would have been seen in a 7-mode environment, but this is normal for a Clustered ONTAP system.

You can find additional information in defining these directories below:
