Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm finding that during times when a snapshot is being created for a partition, all access of that partition hangs until the snapshot is completed. On a large partition (180Gb, 66% used), this takes over 10 minutes for me. I've found that any time the partition (which is NFS mounted) is being accessed when the snapshot creation starts, the creation seems to take an even longer amount of time and sometimes isn't complete after 30 mins when I reboot the box. The problem is also really bad when the background fsck is starting and makes a snapshot first, which takes a lot of production time out a server which just crashed that I'm trying to restore. -- Avleen Vig Systems Administrator Personal: www.silverwraith.com "Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attractiveness of others." - Oscar Wilde
