Well, there are a few things going on here I think. First and foremost, the admin needs to understand the ramifications of what he's doing. It bugs me a little bit that moving the directory still keeps the snapshot state from before the move available, but then from *that directory's* reference frame it does make sense. We can kind of look at it as the NetApp snapshots dealing with relativistic frames of reference. :) -Adam _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
