FS Lock after canceling fssnap

Hi Guys:

I'll like to share something that happened to me yesterday. I has doing a fssnap of the root file system but I had to cancel the script because of an error I got setting variables. After doing CTRL-C the root file system seemed locked, I couldn't write anything to it. I had to restart the server.

Any thoughts in why this happened?

I used the following line inside the script:

ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0 `fssnap -o raw,backing-store=/var/snap /`

where /var/snap is in another partition.

Regards,

Sebastian
