Close. The snapshot is read-only but the pointers to it are read-write (since they are all descendants of the überblock). If you do get a clean copy of the snapshot, you should be fine; but there's a tiny chance that you won't see the snapshot at all, or it will turn out damaged, if you are snapshotting LUNs non-atomically. Easy to recover from but probably a manual process. :-( Anton This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
