Hello,
We are a software company that allows our customers to store data on netApp. We have code that writes out files onto netAPP with retention period. We recently hit the issue of not being able to set retention passed 2038. We were testing against netApp 8.2. Intrestingly enough when a retention date passed 2038 was passed to netapp, and the file made read only, it automatically wraps it around. That behavior has been changed in 9.3, where it does not allow us to use date beyond 2038. So my questions are the following:
1. Should my code explicitly map date greater thatn 2038 to dates between 1970 and 2003?
2. Is the difference I mentioned between 8.2 and 9.3 correct?
3. If we have a customer that would like to retain files passed 2071, how do we do that?
Thank you for taking the time to read this and I await your response
Kaleb
