Hi,
I'm planing to use FreeBSD snapshots. It seems to be the snapshop image
is placed on the same file system. The question is how do I manage or
reserve space for the snapshots? Can someone give me some guidelines or
pointers.
Here's my netapp it has a separate area allocated for the snapshots, I'm
keeping 2 weekly snapshots in there(weekly.0 & weekly.1) using around 30G.
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/vol/vol0/ 305052552 272495320 32557232 89% /vol/vol0/
/vol/vol0/.snapshot 76263136 30658028 45605108 40%
/vol/vol0/.snapshot
Filesystem iused ifree %iused Mounted on
/vol/vol0/ 10802387 89822586 11% /vol/vol0/
If copy all content in vol0 to a FreeBSD and make 2 snapshot will it be
around the same? 272G + 30G = 302G? So if I df on the FreeBSD box
around 302G will be used?
Any help and information is highly appreciated.
Many thanks.
Kent.
