At last, something not about console servers... :->

I'm setting no snapshots to be running and my disk usage to 0% (The machine is used as a cache server only, and the data is not critical in any way shape or form.

Is there an alternative method to shutting off snapshots? (i.e a snapshot off command, or something like that)

It's a bit unclear what you claim to have done, but if it's

snap reserve VOLNAME 0 snap sched VOLNAME 0

then that's all you need to do, and it will persist indefinitely until you change it. Pretty simple - why would you want an "alternative method" ?

You could use "vol options VOLNAME nosnap on" instead of the "snap sched", but I tend to think of the nosnap option as being useful as a temporary override rather than a permanent setting.

Don't forget to delete any snapshots taken before you turned them off.
