CIFS is session-based and moving the toplevel dir of a share will badly confuse existing sessions.  On the CLI use  isi smb session list isi smb session delete ...  to clean things up.  BTW, by moving directories around under /ifs you can't affect the layout or distribution among nodes; it takes SmartPools to do so (if you have pools of different node types). By moving directories one might build a directory tree more suitable for parallel backup processing of multiple subtrees, though.  Peter
Hi,  I have a single folder on my /ifs filesystem with the following properties:  1) It is used as a CIFS export 2) It is used as an NFS export 3) It has a quota configured on it 4) Users are actively using the CIFS and NFS exports.    I am trying to move this folder to another place on the OneFS filesystem (to distribute data for backup accelerator nodes), and am experincing trouble being able to access this folder on the via the CIFS protocol after simply moving it from the command line.  I've destroyed and re-created the CIFS share, and reassigned permissions.  I get a generic "the share does not exist on this server" type of error message on different platforms (Win7, OS X).  Do people have a specific process they follow when trying to move a CIFS share on the OneFS filesystem?  Do I need to kill active SMB sessions or flush anything from memory or restart processes or anything like that?  Thank-you, Dan Sullivan
