Hello, Considering a PC server running FreeBSD with 4 400 GB hard drives attached to a hardware raid controller doing raid-5. So this will present itself to the OS as a 1.2TB filesystem. Any comments on taking one or multiple snapshots of a filesystem of this size ? Given current disk capacities, I would not exactly consider this 1.2TB filesystem a "large" one ... any comments on say ... a 6-8 TB filesystem and making one or more snapshots of it ? Assume they are marginally busy - perhaps a 5-10% data turnover per day... Thanks.
