Thanks a lot for the quick reply Adam! The explanation makes sense, however my aim is not to remove the data, rather make the data reappear (mount the latest snapshot rw??) in the original location, in this case /opt/local/crashplan
How can I make sure this is done propely? I would rather not lose my ~3 TB backup data. :) Thanks Eric On 24 May 2016 at 15:56, Adam Števko <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > indestructible_zoneroot is a feature, which shall prevent any accidental > deletion of the VM.
