As I cross posted this I didn't make a big deal out of it but I find it
interesting that sometimes (I haven't spent the time to nail this down
properly yet) when mounting an xfs snapshot like so:
mount /dev/HDA/SNAP /mnt/snapshot
it thinks that the snapshot is a resierfs snapshot and sill go to great
lengths to do so (takes up to and over a minute to mount it). Everything
seems fine at the end of the day ie. I can see files in the snapshot but I
find it interesting that either:
1) There is a problem and the kernel is mistaking an XFS snapshot as a
resierfs snapshot, or
2) There is a problem and the kernel is just misreporting the filesystem
on
the snapshot.
Of course this is easily to get around just use:
mount -t xfs /dev/HDA/SNAP /mnt/snapshot
I'm intreged now.
