Dear Alasdair,
thanks for your answer. I use snapshots intensively. I
currently have 6 monthly, 5 weekly and 7 daily snapshots active
with a rotating algorithm.
Does the new implementation copy dirty blocks also in "all"
active snapshots or is it now possible to use the cow-blocks
"cross-snapshot"? I mean that a new dirty block is only copied
into the oldest snapshot and all the other ones can use that one.
NetApp's Filer does it this way.
Regards
Axel Reinhold
