Snapshot activation fails

[gardnermj]

I doubt the machine is running out of memory, since it's got 16GB of RAM. As for running xfs_repair, I'd rather not do so unless it's absolutely necessary, since it would require bringing the NAS down temporarily.

I've sent the log files as you suggested, though.

Hi, is there a solution.
I have the same problem.

We ended up deleting the snapshot volume, upgrading to the latest DSS, then re-creating the snapshot volume. That seems to have fixed the problem.

Hallo Michael,

we are now using Version 5.0.DB46000000.3084.

What is your running version ?

The latest version of DSS is 5.0.DB47000000.3216
Could you tell me the version that you had upgraded from.

[gardnermj]

We're currently running ver. 5.0.DB47000000.3178. I believe we upgraded from 5.0_42 build 3007.

If the snapshot was created prior to the update. Try deleting the snapshot and then recreating it.
If the snapshot is assigned to a task, then manually starting the snapshot will result in an error
If this does not help, please download the system log files and sent to support@open-e.com
