Below is the output of a snap list and an ls of a .snapshot directory. I placed this call because I have an RCS directory that the files are being repeatedly wiped out. We have searched for cron jobs and scripts that could be causing the problem but have found nothing. Tonight, while working with a user on the issue, we noted that it happened right around 8pm. Also noted was that it seemed to happen every 4 hours. This also coincides with my snap sched for that volume.

I am wondering if any of you toasters out there have noted issues with snapshots like the list below OR (more importantly) issues with files under RCS control being wiped out around the time of a snapshot.

NetApp is looking into the issue but has nothing for me at this time.

Thanks for your time. C-

PS... CHRISBTEST was a manual snapshot taken to see if it would blow away my data under RCS.
