I made some tests on a Dell PowerVault 725N with ŕ 5.2 about a year and a half ago. Snapshots on a 700GB filesystem were taking roughly half an hour. > Maybe mksnap is broken somehow? Don't think broken is the right term, but it surely lacks optimization on huge filesystems when compared to snapshots on a netapp filer (5 seconds on a terabyte volume for example). For medium size fs like the 80B I'm using here on my desktop box, approximately 30 seconds seems reasonable to me. Shorter time would be welcome, sure ;) Éric Masson -- Contresens.
