Is it it me or does it take a very long time to delete a snapshot? Upwards of 30 minutes to delete a snapshot of a 7 GB drive

what kind of storage you're using? if it is block-based it zeroes out the data which takes time

NFS is wipe_after_delete=true always. so delete of snapshot will merge the data to upper level image + zero in on the data which is why this is taking a long time. On 04/17/2014 11:47 AM, Maurice James wrote:
