I've used them in the past. I don't prefer them (mainly for overhead of
remembering that the netapp isn't the client, the mounting server is),
but I don't know why it's not an option for multi-protocol.
All the NFS metadata is stored (and recovered) as a CIFS hidden
attribute, so that should be usable for some folks.
