Hi, If a file is already opened when snapshot command is issued, the file itself could be in an inconsistent state already. Before the file is closed, maybe part of the file contains old data, the rest contains new data. How does a versioning filesystem guarantee that the file snapshot is in a consistent state in this case? I googled it but didn't find any answer. Can someone explain it a little bit?
