Unusable file system error when setting coldpath to an Isilon CIFS share

Getting an unusable file system error when trying to configure a coldpath to an Isilon CIFS share. Anyone using isilon for cold frozen? Any specific settings regarding locking to configure to make this work?

Splunk vers 7.0
Windows Server 2012 r2
Isilon OneFS

CIFS is not a support target at this time.

a little late on the response. we have moved on from here. this should be updated in the EMC Isilon reference architecture. It implies CIFS is supported with Isilon. This is a problem with Windows based installations where there is no option for persistent NFS mounts or other means to set a coldpath.
