I looked in the > handbook on the web and the file: > "/usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/README.snapshot" The Readme tells you: "To create a snapshot of your /var filesystem, run the command: mount -u -o snapshot /var/snapshot/snap1 /var" So, i think you can only make a snapshot of a single filesystem. So, maybe your /var is not a single filesystem. If you want to be sure, type: #mount and take a look what kind of filesyste, you have. It depends on how you installed FreeBSD. Normally you will have: / /usr /tmp (/var) So, this _could_ be the problem, but i am not sure. hth asg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
