I want to make this brief for you all ... Let's say I have a running filesystem, and the system crashes, and (for whatever reason) I mount and run the filesystem in an unclean state. While in this unclean, running state, I create a snapshot on it. Now let's say I unmount the filesystem and fsck it for real. It gets marked clean. Is the snapshot that resides on that filesystem still dirty ? If so, is it expected that use of the clean FS with the dirty snapshot enabled would cause system instability (hard lock of system). If so, is it sensible for me to mount the snapshot on md0 and fsck /dev/md0 ? thakns. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
