Note that snap status is an advanced command so its output shouldn't necessarily cause you concerns... There is some metadata activity that occurs after a snapshot is created - the filer can reboot/crash in the middle with no harm since like anything on the filer this is a logged and consistent operation.

Hello,
When I check snap status, I see next to recent snapshots : (xxxx/xxxx remaining). Also, It seems that this is in fact the wafl scan process "snap create summary update"
Does anyone knows what is this process, its purpose, what happens if the system reboots during this,...
I'm asking this because on one system with lots of snapshots(snapvault) this process seems to never finish. In fact, each time a new snap is transfered the counter restarts from the beginning but has not enough time to finish until a new snapshot is created. Consequence : in snap status I see more and more snapshots with (xxx/xxx remaingint) on the right.
Thanks in advance for your answers!
