Please do let me know.
I'd say, that having it as configure option (do Samba-style snapshot naming vs. uuid based) would be sufficient. The question remains what should be the default. That being said, what use-case would require snapshots taken more often than every second? I doubt that you actually can do snapshots every second on a busy file system, let alone more often. On lightly-used one they will be identical and just clutter the name-space. Regards, -- Hubert Kario QBS - Quality Business Software 02-656 Warszawa, ul.
