Thanks. That sounds like a strong candidate. I wasn't involved in configuring the filer (that was done by a consultant from NetApp and one of our internal staff) but I do know that there is a CIFS connection to it. I had assumed that it would be on a different volume within the filer (if NetApp don't know the correct way to set up their own equipment then who does?) but now I'm wondering.

To be honest this filer has been little but trouble since we got it, this is just the latest in a long line of problems.
