Indeed.  From The Register:

"El Reg has been told there is a problem with Mac OS X Lion clients 
accessing the Celerra filer array. The NAS head goes offline and 
failover doesn't kick in. An EMC patch is available and fixes the 
problem."

As it turned out, the EMC patch had been available for some months, but 
customers who followed EMC advice of following a 6 month patch cycle got 
caught out.

Hands up any corporate users here who actually know what devices are 
used by Samba shares in your organisation...  Even if you knew that the 
EMC Celerra needs patching, do you know whether you have one?
