Hi there guys. I'm not the regular NetApp tech around here, so I have a quick weekend maintenance question. Our filer had about -60MB (less than zero) free when I last checked it. We're deleting plenty of space now, but it's of course moving the deleted data to the snapshot storage. Is it proper to delete the snapshot storage manually? Or will the filer give it up in favor of the normal NFS export? We have, for example, some '.snapshot' directories that contain redundant data. Is 'rm -rf' proper there, or what? Thanks a lot.
log into the filer and use snap delete
