[MooseFS-Users] Difference between mfsmakesnapshot and mfsappendchunks?

[William K. <wk...@bn...>]

So I imagine that

mfsmakesnapshot is really just cloning the metadata and then fills in 
after the fact when the source changes.

Does mfsappendchunks work the same way? (with the ability to merge 
multiple files)

Is there an advantage to one method or the other (especially in regards 
to a VM image)?
