Because ZFS is taking the snapshot, it is able to guarantee filesystem consistency. However, it cannot speak to the data or application contents. You have to do that, and ensure it has a consistent on-disk image at the time of the snapshot. This is the same as any other snapshot or copy technique would require. > Can i do something like lockfs or the like?.

At the filesystem level, that's all taken care of. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
