|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Ar snapshot_name
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility creates a snapshot named
|
|
.Ar snapshot_name .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The group ownership of the file is set to
|
|
.Dq Li operator ;
|
|
the owner of the file remains
|
|
.Dq Li root .
|
|
The mode of the snapshot is set to be readable by the owner
|
|
or members of the
|
|
.Dq Li operator
|
|
group.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
Create a snapshot of
|
|
.Pa /usr/home
|
|
file system and mount the snapshot elsewhere:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
mksnap_ffs /usr/home/snapshot
|
|
mdconfig -a -t vnode -o readonly -f /usr/home/snapshot
|
|
mount -o ro /dev/md0 /mnt/

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 5.0 .
|
|
.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
The disk full situation is not handled gracefully and may
|
|
lead to a system panic when no free blocks are found.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Every filesystem can have only up to 20 active snapshots.
|
|
When this limit is reached, attempting to create more snapshots
|
|
fails with
|
|
.Er ENOSPC ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Nm
|
|
reports that it is
|
|
.Dq out of space .
