I would like to enable SMB2 on a FAS 2050 running Data ONTAP 7.3.2 as by default it is disabled.

I have discovered that to enable SMB2 the following option must be set:

options cifs.smb2.client.enable on

Does this require a restart of cifs to take affect or just does it start working magically? Also will this change persist across a reboot?
