No, I don't use snapshots any more. I did use snapshots via bgfsck, but
now I have disabled bgfsck, because for some reason I got panics which
seemed to be related to bgfsck.

I've mailed to -current about the above-mentioned panics and the message
which I sent to this list can be found at 

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2003-December/016143.html

My biggest partition/filesystem size is 17 GB, and my second largest is
about 10 GB in size.
