The backgound checker periodically scans the file system and checks the IDs (including trustees) in the file system to make sure they are consistent with the entries in eDirectoryTM. It deletes any old IDs that it finds and also fixes any NDS® naming problems.
You can now access your DFS volumes through the CIFS protocol.
In ConsoleOneTM, you can now cluster enable a volume or pool when you create it.
You can now mount DVDs as NSS logical volumes.
Junctions are virtual directories or folders that point to the root of a volume, which can be located in a different place on the same server or on a different server. This makes the volume location transparent to the user. At this time, this functionality can be accessed only through the WebDAV or CIFS protocol.
Multipath support is used to offline and reroute data paths in the event of a bad path or if maintenance is needed.
