I have a question about snapshots,
What happens if I take a snapshot and then afterwards delete some of the files on my Cifs share?
Does it:
a) give me the free space back thus corrupting the snapshot
b) reserve the space taken by those files included in the snaphot and pretend to give the space back? e.g. the data is still recoverable
c) reserve the space and not give the free space back
d) none of the above
if the answer is b, what happens if I then fill my drive up? Does that overwrite the snapshot data or is this prevented by the system?
