Hello, I understand that while a snapshot is being created, any stat of the directory that it is being created in will block until the snapshot is finished being created. Let's say I have one snapshot created and in use in .snap, and then I create a second snapshot of that same filesystem, also in .snap ... should I be worried that the usage of the first snapshot will block while the second one is being created ? It seems like I should be worried about that, and I am considering .snap, .snap2, .snap3 directories and just putting one snapshot in each ... (assume 6.0-RELEASE) thanks.
