I started testing the /EnableGW=yes option with tsafs here about a week ago.  
To be honest, I'm not sure what to think about it.  Since enabling it, I get 
many more "open file" failures than I did before.  Does that mean /EnableGW=yes 
is bad, and shouldn't be used?  Or does it mean that it wasn't working 
previously either, but it just didn't know it, and wasn't reporting it....

Ironically, the way that I got the least errors/problems of any kind was to run 
plain tsafs with no special options, and without OFM.    We were previously 
having big problems with the OFM throwing our SAN controllers into diagnostic 
mode.  Not fun to have the server hba's ping-ponging back and forth across 
redundant controllers in the middle of a backup.
