Hi,

I had a file /usr/.snap/dump_snapshot being about 15GB in size, which  
I removed because the partition was filling up.
The file's date was always rather current, so I'm wondering, what it  
was for?
I did do a level 0 dump with -0 and -Lau parameters a few weeks ago  
and always do dumps on other boxes, but never saw a file in the .snap  
directory growing. For the other partitions, there are no such files,  
that's why I'm wondering.
Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me.

Thanks!

Philip
