The increasing value of snapId is not a problem.  Creating snapshots every
15 min is somewhat more frequent than what is customary, but as long as
you're able to delete filesets at the same rate you're creating them, this
should work OK.

Hello,

using gpfs 4.2.1, I do about 60 snapshots per day (one snapshot per 15
minutes
during working hours). It seems that snapid is increasing only number.
Should
I be fine with such a number of snapshots per day? I guess we could reach
snapid 100,000. I remove all these snapshots during night so I do not keep
huge number of snapshots.
