NetApp Exam NS0-593 Topic 6 Question 44 Discussion

Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-593 exam

Question #: 44
Topic #: 6

A user reports that a colleague saved a file called Test.txt from a UNIX system to a multiprotocol volume. When opening the file later from a Windows system, it was not the file that they wanted. The file that they wanted was named TEST~1.TXT.

Which statement explains this behavior?

AUNIX name mapping updated the filename.

BA Snapshot copy preserved two versions of the file.

CWindows Volume Shadow Copy Service stored an older version of the file.

DCase Insensitivity of SMB clients caused the file to be displayed with a different name.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

= The multiprotocol volume allows clients to access files using both NFS and SMB protocols. The NFS protocol is case-sensitive, meaning that Test.txt and TEST~1.TXT are two different files. The SMB protocol is case-insensitive, meaning that it treats uppercase and lowercase letters as the same when searching for a file. Therefore, when the user opened the file from a Windows system using SMB, the system could not distinguish between Test.txt and TEST~1.TXT and displayed one of them arbitrarily. This could lead to confusion and data loss if the user modified or deleted the wrong file.Reference=Client protocols;Multiprotocol NAS in NetApp ONTAP Overview and Best Practices, page 30-31.

Could be, but updating the filename seems more direct. UNIX and Windows handle names differently.

But isn't case insensitivity the main problem with SMB clients when dealing with UNIX files?

I was thinking about the Snapshot copy preserving two versions. Multiple versions can be tricky.

Possibly, but I leaned towards UNIX name mapping updating the filename.

Yeah, it was confusing. I think the case insensitivity of SMB clients might be the issue.

Did anyone get stuck with that question on UNIX and Windows file versions?
