Hi,

I got the following Filesystem:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused /dev/da0a 1.3T 422G 823G 34% 565952 182833470 0%

Running of a 3ware 9550, on a dual core Opteron 242 with 1Gb.
The system is used as SMB/NFS server for my other systems here.

I would like to make weekly snapshots, but manually running mksnap_ffs freezes access to the disk (I sort of expected that) but the process never terminates. So I let is sit overnight, but looking a gstat did not reveil any activity what so ever...
The disk was not released, mksnap_ffs could not be terminated.
And things resulted in me rebooting the system.

So:
 - How long should I expect making a snapshot to take:
        5, 15, 30min, 1, 2 hour or even more???
 - How do I diagnose the reason why it is not terminating?

You forgot to mention what revision of FreeBSD you are running, and
if you are using quotas or anything else on the filesystem that
could impact this.

Yes, I pressed send somewhat to fast:
