Hello,

It somewhat continues the scan, but not in the directory where it encountered 
the error.

For example, the filesystem looks like:
/a/one/*
/a/two/*
/a/three/*

Robinhood is configured to scan /a. 
If it encounters /a/one/.snapshot , it will skip scanning anything else under 
/a/one, log an error, and move onto /a/two.

Hopefully that helps clarify things.

Thanks,
Lewis

Thank you for the update.
Indeed, ignoring ".snapshot" during the scan is a good thing. They often
have non-posix beahaviors...
However, I'm kind of surprised that this breaks your whole scan...
Robinhood should log the error but continue scanning the rest of the
filesystem.
