Error Code details
V-3-21269
Severity: Error 
Component: File System 
Message:
snapsize specified is too small or snapshot device is not large enough
Description:

This message is displayed when the mount command fails and error is set as EFBIG. It can be caused by either of the following two reasons:

 

  • The snapshot device size is smaller than the file system for which you are creating the snapshot.
     
  • The snapsize option specified in the mount command is too small.  This option is required to be specified when the device driver cannot determine the size of the snapshot device.
