df or mount command output shows snapshot coming from Unity NFS server.

We observed in RedHat7 client df or mount command output shows snapshot coming from Unity NFS server.

Could some one know what cause this issue ?

The strange part is the same share is mounted other two clients not having this behavior,.

Appreciate if you have any insight, thanks.

Hi SamsirV,

Have you tried rebooting the client? Can you post screenshots?

yes , reboot of the client couldn't help. the check point directories (.ckpt) with snapshot time stamp is the one getting mounted.

Does /etc/fstab show the same location on the client that it works on and where it doesn’t?

You can try this and see if it helps

To remove access to (and prevent mounting of) the checkpoints for NFS filesystems you can change the value of the showHiddenCkpt parameter from 1 to 0. The default value is 1, access enabled.

To change the value to 0 use this command:
svc_nas ALL -param -f cfs -m showHiddenCkpt -value 0

This command will show the current state of the showHiddenCkpt parameter:
svc_nas ALL -param -f cfs -i showHiddenCkpt
