Ultimately, I need to verify what filesystems are actually supported with
fssnap and whether the source filesystem needs to be locked during the initial
startup process for creating the bitmap. From what the man page apparently
states, the source filesystem will need to be write lockable, and that not all
filesystems are supported:
While the snapshot file system is stable and consistent, an
application updating files when the snapshot is created
might leave these files in an internally inconsistent, trun-
cated, or otherwise unusable state. In such a case, the
snapshot will contain these partially written or corrupted
files. It is a good idea to ensure active applications are
suspended or checkpointed and their associated files are
also consistent during snapshot creation.
NOTES
This command might not be supported for all FSTypes.
Thank you again for your time!
