after mounting a CIFS share on a linux system (rhel8, fully patched) i sometimes get:    CIFS: VFS: sign fail cmd 0x8 message id 0x107ebf  CIFS: VFS: \\FILER\SHARE SMB signature verification returned error = -13   the mount seems to work, but i dont know if this is true for every access.   there exists an KB article at https://kb.netapp.com/on-prem/ontap/da/NAS/NAS-KBs/SAMBA_Client_returns_SMB_signature_verification_error   where i'm advised to use nfs instead. seriously? CIFS and NFS are NOT interchangeable. eg. complex permission sets dont translate from one to another.   there seems to be an old KB at https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=000020670 where suse recommended to upgrade from 9.5.P13 to ontap 9.5P14 maybe just a similar error, and not the same. hopefully not the same 🙂 I dont have any clue which bug/feature was fixed in 9.5.P14     ...

We are upgrading this week to OnTAP 9.14.1 and I just reviewed the new cluster and volume tagging feature. It appears very straightforward and could prove useful to us, however I'm wondering what NetApp tools are available that could make use of them in some kind of reporting. I don't currently see anything in ActiveIQ Unified Manager (I am on version 9.14) and we don't have Cloud Insights. What would be the primary way these tags could be used to generate reports and/or dashboards? ... View more

I am not sure if this is the correct forum, but I did see other posts about NetApp volumes here. Please advise of the correct forum if needed. On the Google Cloud Platform, I deployed  a STANDARD service level 2048gb NetApp storagepool in uscentral1. Then I created a 100gb volume also in uscentral1.   I have a question about this volume's performance. When I use the FIND command to traverse through a directory, the performance is noticeably slower on the Netapp volume versus the same data on the local drive. At first I was thinking I needed to increase my throughput performance by increasing my service level or making the volume bigger(which increases throughput performance). But after thinking about it, my FIND command is not moving data, it's just traversing through the directory. So it seems this is not a throughput issue?   Does anyone have insight as to the performance issue here:   root@server1:~# time find /data_local/cache/4c71-4cb6-bd50-d80aa7/ -type f | wc -l 4995 real 0m0.119s user 0m0.058s sys 0m0.059s root@server1:~# time find /data_NetappVol/cache/4c71-4cb6-bd50-d80aa7/ -type f | wc -l 4995 real 0m3.968s user 0m0.078s sys 0m0.219s ...
