Is the snapshot feature in UFS2 stable enough to handle some thing like that? At one point there seemed to be weird hangs going on, when you tried things like doing a CVSUP or CVS update when a snapshot was on the disk. One message from Scott Long back on 2/17/2004 said: ----- There are fundamental issues with FFS snapshots and our buffer/cache that are well beyond the scope of fixing for 5.2.1. If someone has an idea of how to fix them for 5.3, all the better. ----- I had it hang once on my home machine running 5.2-Release, so I've been a bit leery of the whole thing - even though it's a very cool feature.
