Subject:   20 snapshot limit per filesystem?

Hi, I was just wondering how much overhead would be incurred by increasing
the 20 snapshot limit on mksnap_ffs ?

I use hard links to get snapshot-like functionality under 4.x.  I can
recover accidentally deleted files for up to 30 days.  I was hoping
I could switch to snapshots without crimping this strategy...

By the way, how do snapshots interface with user disk quotas?  I assume
files which exist only in a snapshot aren't counted by the quota system.

Thanks for any advice!

Rich
