Issue

  • Creating a new file in Windows Explorer (Windows version is "Windows 10" and "Windows 11") on a CIFS share of a Snaplock volume will create 4 files instead of one when parameter  is-volume-append-mode-enabled true.
  • The same operation but in CLI will create only one file. Copying a single file using Windows Explorer will also work.
