We use cifs for our users home directory and we have some users who have laptops with windows XP and use offline folders which synchronise the users home directory on the filer on their local drives.
Recently we enabled to show the snapshot folder on the filer to retreive some files from the snapshot. We used the options cifs.show_snapshot on command. We enabled it for 20 minutes and then switched it off. But in that 20 minutes it seems some users logged off and syncronised the snapshot folder to their local drive. The snapshot was quite big and has taken most of the users C drive and now the synch from the local drive to the P drive has not happenned for 2 weeks, and the users has made some changes to the offline folders which havent been synched to the P drive, so if we delete the offline folder cache the user will lose their files which they have been working on offline.. We tried the to delete the ~snapshot folder on the offline folders but its coming up as access denied, as it has read only attributes Is there a way to delete the snapshot folder on the offline folders.
