In the .snapshot directory an "ls -alu" will give you the correct times.

I have a need to get lists of snapsnots on my filers. However, since the filers are heavily used, the snap command takes minutes to return. I suspect they take that long in order to calculate the usage statistics. Is there another way, a faster way, to just get a list of the snapshot names and timestamps?

A listing of the directories under a .snapshot directory give the names, but not accurate timestamps.

Until next time...
