Agreed. I hate giving up my old snaps to free up disk space whenever some user filled it up. But that's a fundamental problem associated with any snapshotting system, so I see it as unavoidable, unless somebody invents a filesystem that can do snaps and exclude certain files ... or some way to delete a specific file from a snap. _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
