I've not tried this combination, but from experience you need to be
careful with NFS versions using Linux clients and NetApp servers.

It might help to force either the client, server or both to use NFSv2.

That said, I was under the impression Linux client NFS probs had calmed
down in recent releases, so I could be wrong.
