Hi,

I'm creating snapshots on a couple of partitions ranging from 10GB to 31GB

running file on the snapshots show different filetypes for the snapshots on
the larger than 10GB partitions.

[root@ ~]# df -h /
Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/da0s1a    9.7G    322M    8.6G     4%    /
[root@ ~]# file /.snap/daily.0
/.snap/daily.0: Unix Fast File system [v2] (little-endian) last mounted on

/dev/da0s1d     31G    2.7G     26G     9%    /usr
[root@ ~]# file /usr/.snap/daily.0
/usr/.snap/daily.0: DOS executable (device driver)

[root@ ~]# df -h /usr/local
Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/da0s1e     15G    134M     14G     1%    /usr/local
[root@ ~]# file /usr/local/.snap/daily.0
/usr/local/.snap/daily.0: DOS executable (device driver)

Is there some sort of limit on the snapshot size being reported to the file
system ?

Cheers,

Gareth
