Issue

  • When accessing the .snapshot directory, it was not automatically mounted as a separate filesystem

cd /mount/point/.snapshot
ls /mount/point/.snapshot

  • In prior environments with similar configuration, the .snapshot directory was auto-mounted correctly
  • All relevant ONTAP NFS and volume options were set correctly
