Yes, something like that, but don't worry about the nodes, think of it in terms of files. Each snapshot has all the files but under the covers they refer to the same disk space, if the file didn't change. Your storage looks like this (I converted the size to GB): 31.7 20090705 0.2 20090712 1.8 20090719 0.4 20090726 1.5 20090802 0.5 20090809 0.6 20090816 1.2 20090823 19 20090830 1.5 20090906 1.9 20090913 1.9 20090916 1.8 20090917 1.8 20090918 1.8 20090919 2 20090920 2 20090921 1.9 20090922 1.9 20090923 Total 75.4 GB, which is what you reported. Something must have happened on Aug 30 that caused Dirvish to back up a lot of data. Maybe look at ls -liR 20090830, and look for files that have a small link count in the third column---those are the unique copies that contribute to the size of this directory _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list [email protected] http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
