I've been playing with snapshots (mksnap_ffs) recently. I've got a script which does a daily snapshot and keeps 7 days of history. Last night, the machine crashed and when it came back up, all the snapshots referred to the current view of the disk, i.e. I lost the 7-day history.I'm running 5.3-release. Has anyone seen this? Snapshots should persist beyond reboots, shouldn't they? (Yes, I am doing the mdconfig and remounting the snap.)
I haven't seen this specifically, but I have noticed a fair amount of instability related to the snapshot code. I've managed to crash 5.2-RELEASE through 5.4-RELEASE by keeping too many snapshots, or hammering the disk while taking a snapshot, or having a filesystem with lots (close to a million) of files.
Have you tried fscking the disk manually from single-user mode? -- -- Skylar Thompson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~skylar/
