Yes, I am absolutely sure of this.

I considered using the snapshot tool, however I need to reduce
dependencies to an absolute minimum (as one target environment is
very strict on allowing additional software installs)..

I use the snapshots to get a consistent file-backup with history.
This one puzzles me to no end.

Hmm, that is very odd..
Maybe the FS is stuffed somehow :(

I read somewhere else about NFS issues on 7-RC* where snapshots have been used. In particular - and this is something I'm seeing too - changing the exports file or reloading mountd gives the following in messages log:

Feb 19 18:58:09 anduin mountd[38867]: can't delete exports for /tmp: Invalid argument Feb 19 18:58:09 anduin mountd[38867]: can't delete exports for /usr: Cross-device link Feb 19 18:58:09 anduin mountd[38867]: can't delete exports for /var: Cross-device link Feb 19 18:58:09 anduin mountd[38867]: can't delete exports for /export/ home: Cross-device link Feb 19 18:58:09 anduin mountd[38867]: can't delete exports for /opt: Cross-device link

Can this be related? I'm starting to worry here - what will be the long-term consequences if snapshots are stuck around in this "invisible" state?
