7.2.6.1 P2-P8?

Hi-

We recently had a crash due to bug #327361 (quotas not play nice with
CIFS alternate streams). This is apparently fixed by P2. A quick check
on now.netapp.com shows they are now up to P8 with what looks like a
number of less than great bugs fixed in the releases later than P2 as
well.

Netapp support recommends we go to P2 because that is all we strictly
need but suggests there would likely be no problem going all the way
to P8 if we want. Has anyone had any experiences with either P2 or P8
(or any number in between) that would suggest we should pick one over
the other?

Thanks!

We're running 7.2.6.1P8 on a FC/NFS cluster and an CIFS Cluster and it
seems to be going along pretty well. We hit a couple bugs in 7.2.6.1p6
and had to apply the p8 rev to possibly fix them.

It doesn't support the DS14mk1 shelves (which is why it isn't an
option for us at the moment).

It also does not support DS14-MK2 shelves with LRC or ESH.
