System Administration Commands fssnap(1M)
NAME
fssnap - create temporary snapshots of a file system
SYNOPSIS
fssnap [-F FSType] [-V] -o special_options /mount/point
fssnap -d [-F FSType] [-V] /mount/point | dev
fssnap -i [-F FSType] [-V] [-o special_options]
[/mount/point | dev]
DESCRIPTION
The fssnap command creates a stable, read-only snapshot of a
file system when given either an active mount point or a
special device containing a mounted file system, as in the
first form of the synopsis. A snapshot is a temporary image
of a file system intended for backup operations.
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.
File access times are not updated while the snapshot is
being created.
A path to the virtual device that contains this snapshot is
printed to standard output when a snapshot is created.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-d Deletes the snapshot associated with
the given file system.
-F FSType Specifies the file system type to be
used. The FSType should either be
specified here or be determined by
matching the block special device
with an entry in the /etc/vfstab
table, or by consulting
/etc/default/fs.

System Administration Commands fssnap(1M)
-i Displays the state of any given
FSType snapshot. If a mount-point or
device is not given, a list of all
snapshots on the system is
displayed. When a mount-point or
device is specified, detailed infor-
mation is provided for the specified
file system snapshot by default. The
format and meaning of this informa-
tion is file-system dependent. See
the FSType-specific fssnap man page
for details.
-o special_options See the FSType-specific man page for
fssnap.
-V Echoes the complete command line,
but does not execute the command.
OPERANDS

/mount/point The directory where the file system
resides.
