Funnier,,,  judging by the BakBone compatiblity
guide,, dynamic drive sharing doesn't seem to be a
supported function in versions of DOT greater than
7.x.  Now who do you think the issue is with?  I think
it is with NetApp as in 7.0+ they probably implemented
persistent bindings as an enhancement.  Just my guess.
