I'll Well, there are fscks and there are fscks. It's my impression that *all* a background fsck on a snapshot will ever do is return free blocks to the freelist. That's it. It won't do any one of the dozens of other crazy things you've probably seen fsck do in cleaning up a badly scrogged filesystem and hence your fear, unless I'm smoking some unusually strong crack, is likely unwarranted. - JKordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
