when i try do delete the snapshot i get:
poplar> snap delete snapshot_for_backup.68 Snapshot in use by dump or a CIFS share.
even though cifs and ndmpd are not running. how do i delete this snapshot while keeping the filer online? this is an F520/OT5.3.4R2 system. thanks!
Unless the dump terminate command was finally implemented (asked for since about v 2.1), you can't. I'm assuming dump is the problem here and not CIFS, since CIFS terminate should normally take care of any CIFS problems. Your best bet is to just do a reboot, which will only interrupt service for a few minutes.
