Oracle db probably runs some sort of script after commit of a database=20 snapshot which commands NetApp filer to create a snapshot. If that is so, I don't see the oracle/btrfs configuration to be much=20 different either. The oracle-side scripts can be made to run btrfs=20 snapshot creation commands in this case. Hope that helps.
