I tried. The only discussion I found was the link above. If you can give me a pointer to another thread, I'd appreciate it. I'll also try additional searches based on the information you gave below. > As > I recall, it depends on your server and it's version. Older versions or FAT > file-systems have their inodes "faked".

I'll try it with a Windows server sharing an NTFS volume and see if I get a different result. *It's actually a Network Appliance ONtap WAFL QTree, configured to use "UNIX" security model. But ONtap reports "UNIX" QTrees as "FAT" file systems to CIFS clients.
