Comment 9 for bug 199037

The NAS servers reportedly in use here are the following:

1. Customer A: NetApp 3020c running OnTAP v7.2.2
2. Customer B: NetApp 3020c

So, both are using NetApp.

We have contacts at NetApp if they should be brought into the discussion.
However, one note that may or may not be in the case so far, but should be, is
that the "null bytes" problem disappeared when Customer A went to a single NFS
client (taking one CommuniGate Pro "Backend Server" offline). It is only with
two or more NFS clients (Backend Servers) online that the problem can occur.

NetApp uses a proprietary filesystem called "WAFS". I am unsure whether NetApp
can provide filesystem/shell-level access to WAFS directly from their NAS
device, but it may be possible.

If we can attempt to reproduce these tests in-house, we do have a NetApp device
on which to try this; although the model number and NetApp OS version may
differ, and would need to be researched.
