Notes
- In order to enable case insensitivity, all members of the SAN must be using Xsan 2.3 or later.
- Mac OS X v10.5-based Xsan 2.2.1 clients cannot be used with an Xsan 2.3 MDC. Mac OS X v10.6 is required on Xsan 2.2.1 clients of an Xsan 2.3 MDC.
- In order to use native extended attributes, all members of the SAN must be using Xsan 2.2 or later.
