Not able to set LastAccessDate to a file
Applies to
ONTAP 9
Issue
- Setting LastAccessDate in the future on the non-snaplock volume throws error starting ONTAP.10.1 (same error can be seen in ONTAP 9.11)
- Before (ONTAP 9.9.1 and earlier) there is no error thrown but the date is set silently to January 19, 2038 3:14:07 AM
- Bellows you can see examples of the behavior in ONTAP 9.9.1 and ONTAP 9.10.1:
