[gpfsug-discuss] Snapshots / Windows previous versions

[Sobey, Richard A]

Hi all

Can someone clarify if the ability for Windows to view snapshots as Previous Versions is exposed by SAMBA or GPFS? Basically, if suddenly my users cannot restore files from snapshots over a CIFS share, where should I be looking?

I don't know when this problem occurred, but within the last few weeks certainly our users with full control over their data now see no previous versions available, but if we export their fileset and set "force user = root" all the snapshots are available.

I think the answer is SAMBA, right? We're running GPFS 3.5 and sernet-samba 4.2.9.

Many thanks

Richard
