Can't read snapshot contents using Read-NcDirectory (Record doesn't exist)

DavidsMidnightMagic · ‎2025-02-27

Hello community,

I try to read the contents of a volume snapshot by using Read-NcDirectory but I get always "WARNING: Record doesn't exist".

The volume itself is readable, also the .snapshot directory, but not the contents of a snapshot.

Using NFS or CIFS there is no problem to read the contents.

snapdir-acces of the volume: true
