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. -- "In the beginning the Universe was created.
