snapshot filesystem

[Jose_11]

Hi,

If snapshot file system is created using the command:
mount -F vxfs -o snapof=/org_vol /snap_fs /snap_mount_point

Is there is a way to know the actual % used space on /snap_fs .

Note: bdf on the snapshot show the same result as for the original filesystem.

Thanks for any reply,

Joe

Hi,

Use the command df_vxfs to monitor free space on your snapshot volume. For more information, man 1m df_vxfs.

Hope this helps. Regards.

df_vxfs should help you.

Hi,

I've been using snapshot filesystems as well for backup purposes. I also have been looking around for a way to check the free space of the snapshot filesystem, but could not find anything at that time.

The good thing is, that only BLOCKS are copied before they get modified, not whole files. So generally a low percentage of the original space should be sufficient.

regards,
Thierry.
