cDOT CIFS share property showsnapshot doesn't take effect?

I have the question of cDOT CIFS share property showsnapshot.

whether enable or disable the showsnapshot property,  I can always access the ~snapshot directory when mannulay entering the path of the \~snapshot. So how does this property take effect?

 

As the guide of File Access cDOT831,Page314
When the  showsnapshot share property is disabled, a user on a Windows client using SMB 2.x
cannot view the  ~snapshot directory and cannot access Snapshot copies within the  ~snapshot
directory, even when manually entering the path to the  ~snapshot directory or to specific Snapshot
copies within the directory.
When the  showsnapshot share property is enabled, a user on a Windows client using SMB 2.x still
cannot view the  ~snapshot directory either at the root of the share or within any junction or
directory below the root of the share. However, after connecting to a share, the user can access the
hidden  ~snapshot directory by manually appending  \~snapshot to the end of the share path.


CIFS share output:

Do you have load sharing mirrors of svm root?  "snapmirror show -type LS" to check.  You may need to update the mirror to reflect the change in the namespace.  If LS mirrors, "snapmirror update ..." is what I would run.. then also make sure the schedule is running for updates "snapmirror show -fields schedule".

Nope, there is no LS mirror in this SVM.
