As Tim said, The snapshot disk are in the same state they would be in if you pulled the power plug. This is also the same thing you got BTW if you use LVM snapshot (on Linux) or SAN/NAS based snapshots (like NetApp) > In the case of exchange, I have exchange itself on a raw lun in physical > compatibility mode, and I have 2 LUNs mounted with the Server 2008 iSCSI > initiator for logs and the exchange DB. Most modern filesystem and database have journaling that can recover from power failure scenarios, so they should be able to use the snapshot and provide consistent, non-corrupt information. So the question now is, have you tried restoring from snapshot? -- Fajar _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
