Yes, but you need to be using LVM (Logical Volume Management) on the mount
that you want to take a snapshot of. A quick way to tell if your using LVM
is to type `lvs` at the command line. If you are using LVM it will show you
somethin similiar to this.

  LV       VG         Attr   LSize  Origin Snap%  Move Log Copy%
  LogVol00 VolGroup00 -wi-ao 31.78G
  LogVol01 VolGroup00 -wi-ao  1.94G

For more info take a look at this webpage:
