It would be also nice that if you have many snapshoots and you do run out of space that the oldest snapshoot would be automatically removed untill space is freed up. I did setup this snashoot that is beiing made every minute, then every hour, day and a month, and I finally got to the point where I did run out of space, olders snashoots were not removed space was gone and server could not be used. I was just testing this backup and no harm was done but I think haveing space is the most important, snapshoots are not as critical as beeing able to write to a disk... but hey. just a suggestion.
I really wouldn't want that policy. Sometimes the oldest snapshot is the most valuable one of all because they are the "golden egg" that started everything. Though it really depends on what you are using snapshots for. I certainly wouldn't support this policy being the default.
