   Snapshot Commands
        snapshot create <snapname> <volname> [no-timestamp] [description <description>] [force]
              Creates a snapshot of a GlusterFS volume.  User  can  provide  a  snap-name  and  a
              description  to  identify  the snap. Snap will be created by appending timestamp in
              GMT. User can override this behaviour using "no-timestamp" option. The  description
              cannot  be  more than 1024 characters. To be able to take a snapshot, volume should
              be present and it should be in started state.

        snapshot restore <snapname>
              Restores an already taken snapshot of a GlusterFS volume. Snapshot  restore  is  an
              offline  activity  therefore  if  the  volume is online (in started state) then the
              restore operation will fail. Once the snapshot is restored it will not be available
              in the list of snapshots.

        snapshot clone <clonename> <snapname>
              Create a clone of a snapshot volume, the resulting volume will be GlusterFS volume.
              User can provide a clone-name. To be able to  take  a  clone,  snapshot  should  be
              present and it should be in activated state.

        snapshot delete ( all | <snapname> | volume <volname> )
              If  snapname  is  specified  then  mentioned  snapshot  is  deleted.  If volname is
              specified then all snapshots belonging to that particular  volume  is  deleted.  If
              keyword *all* is used then all snapshots belonging to the system is deleted.

        snapshot list [volname]
              Lists  all  snapshots  taken.  If  volname  is  provided,  then  only the snapshots
              belonging to that particular volume is listed.

        snapshot info [snapname | (volume <volname>)]
              This command gives information such as snapshot name, snapshot UUID, time at  which
              snapshot  was  created, and it lists down the snap-volume-name, number of snapshots
              already taken and number of snapshots still available for that  particular  volume,
              and the state of the snapshot. If snapname is specified then info of the  mentioned
              snapshot is  displayed.  If  volname  is  specified  then  info  of  all  snapshots
              belonging  to  that  volume is displayed.  If  both  snapname and  volname  is  not
              specified then info of all the snapshots present in the system are displayed.

        snapshot status [snapname | (volume <volname>)]
              This command gives status of the snapshot. The details included are snapshot  brick
              path,  volume group(LVM details), status of the snapshot bricks, PID of the bricks,
              data percentage filled for that particular volume  group  to  which  the  snapshots
              belong to, and total size of the logical volume.

              If  snapname  is  specified  then status of the mentioned snapshot is displayed. If
              volname is specified then status of all  snapshots  belonging  to  that  volume  is
              displayed.  If  both  snapname  and volname is not specified then status of all the
              snapshots present in the system are displayed.

        snapshot config [volname] ([snap-max-hard-limit <count>] [snap-max-soft-limit <percent>])
       | ([auto-delete <enable|disable>]) | ([activate-on-create <enable|disable>])
              Displays and sets the snapshot config values.

              snapshot  config  without  any  keywords displays the snapshot config values of all
              volumes in the system. If volname is provided, then the snapshot config  values  of
              that volume is displayed.

              Snapshot  config  command  along  with  keywords can be used to change the existing
              config values. If volname is provided then config value of that volume is  changed,
              else it will set/change the system limit.

              snap-max-soft-limit  and  auto-delete are global options, that will be inherited by
              all volumes in the system and cannot be set to individual volumes.

              snap-max-hard-limit can be set globally, as well as per volume.  The  lowest  limit
              between  the  global  system  limit  and  the  volume  specific  limit, becomes the
              "Effective snap-max-hard-limit" for a volume.

              snap-max-soft-limit is a percentage value, which is applied on the "Effective snap-
              max-hard-limit" to get the "Effective snap-max-soft-limit".

              When  auto-delete  feature  is enabled, then upon reaching the "Effective snap-max-
              soft-limit", with every successful snapshot creation, the oldest snapshot  will  be
              deleted.

              When  auto-delete  feature is disabled, then upon reaching the "Effective snap-max-
              soft-limit", the user gets a warning with every successful snapshot creation.

              When auto-delete feature is disabled, then upon reaching the  "Effective  snap-max-
              hard-limit", further  snapshot  creations  will not be allowed.

              activate-on-create  is  disabled by default. If you enable activate-on-create, then
              further snapshot will be activated during the time of snapshot creation.

        snapshot activate <snapname>
              Activates the mentioned snapshot.

              Note : By default the snapshot is activated during snapshot creation.

        snapshot deactivate <snapname>
              Deactivates the mentioned snapshot.

        snapshot help
              Display help for the snapshot commands.
