Known Issues

NetApp ndmpcopy cannot copy stubs.
NetApp: changing attribute flags of NetApp stubs without first demigrating them may cause a demigration followed by the migration flag being re-applied.
Workaround: demigrate/open stubs before changing attributes
FileFly stores a Content-Disposition header containing the original filename, so that it can be downloaded. However, it is not properly escaped, so a filename with a comma causes Chrome to fail with a header error:(net::ERR_RESPONSE_HEADERS_MULTIPLE_CONTENT_DISPOSITION): Multiple Content-Disposition headers received. No workaround is available, so contact Support if you encounter this problem. (FFLY-48)
