Can you do each one individually?

snapdrive snap create -fs /prod

snapdrive snap create -fs /prod/AVV

snapdrive snap create -fs /Prod/AVV/11202

I expect that SDU is having problems dealing with the nested filesystem layout.

This is an older post, but I encountered this in my environment and discovered that a leading "/" was missing from the mount in /etc/mtab (ultimately /etc/fstab).

Ensure your mount is is going to:

svm:/volume_name_here

and not something like

svm:volume_name_here

Thanks,
