Can't read snapshot contents using Read-NcDirectory (Record doesn't exist)

DavidsMidnightMagic — Thu, 27 Feb 2025 09:52:26 GMT

Hello community,

I try to read the contents of a volume snapshot by using Read-NcDirectory but I get always "WARNING: Record doesn't exist".

The volume itself is readable, also the .snapshot directory, but not the contents of a snapshot.

Using NFS or CIFS there is no problem to read the contents.

snapdir-acces of the volume: true

172.17.208.200 is a Vserver LIF.

PSTK Version: 9.16.1.2501

ONTAP Version: 9.12.1P3

Every hint / idea is welcome.
