See “Showing the difference between a data and a nodata Storage Checkpoint”
on page 95.
Removable Storage Checkpoints
A removable Storage Checkpoint can “self-destruct” under certain conditions
when the file system runs out of space.
See “Space management considerations” on page 101.
After encountering certain out-of-space (ENOSPC) conditions, the kernel removes
Storage Checkpoints to free up space for the application to continue running on
the file system. In almost all situations, you should create Storage Checkpoints
with the removable attribute.
Non-mountable Storage Checkpoints
You can create Storage Checkpoints that cannot be mounted by using the
fsckptadm set nomount command.
See the fsckptadm(1M) manual page.
