Setting CIFS Options
The next step in configuring a volume is addressing its CIFS options, if necessary.
Skip to the next section if this volume is in an NFS-only namespaces.
There are five CIFS-volume attributes that back-end filers may or may not support.
They are named streams, compressed files, persistent ACLs, Unicode file names on
disk, and sparse files. Each volume can support any and all of these capabilities.
However, all filer shares used in a volume must support the capabilities advertised in
the volume. For example: if your volume is going to support compressed files, then
all of its back-end filer shares must also support compressed files. The
show exports
command displays the CIFS options on back-end filers, as described in “Showing
CIFS Attributes” on page 5-13.
The CIFS options conform to those of the first-enabled share by default; the options
are scanned during the share import. To manually control these options, you can use
the same commands that you use in a direct volume (recall “Setting CIFS Options” on
page 8-4). That is, you can use any combination of the following gbl-ns-vol
commands to manually set the options:
[no] named-streams
[no] compressed-files
[no] persistent-acls
[no] unicode-on-disk
[no] sparse-files
For example, the following command sequence disables two CIFS options in the
“medarcv~/test” volume:
bstnA6k(gbl)# namespace medarcv
bstnA6k(gbl-ns[medarcv])# volume /test
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol[medarcv~/test])# no named-streams
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol[medarcv~/test])# no sparse-files
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol[medarcv~/test])# ...
