Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • NFS
  • CIFS

Issue

  1. At some point in the past, the folders within the path were renamed or moved
    • In this example:
      • The folder with the path /company/department/team/prod/bar was moved to the path /company/department/team/old_prod/bar
      • A new folder was created at with the path /company/department/team/prod/bar
  2. Before the rename happened, NFS client Host A mounted the folder bar, and did not remount the folder bar
  3. After the rename happened, Host A created file foo.txt in folder bar
  4. After the renamed happened, NFS client Host B mounted folder bar, but did not see file foo.txt
    • Host B created file ni.txt, which Host A cannot see
    • CIFS clients navigating to folder bar also do not see file foo.txt, but do see ni.txt
