I added it to /etc/vfstab.  It still doesn't seam to be happy though.

when I run "getfsent /fsapvol1SnapVol/" it says it is vxfs:

fstype of `/fsapvol1SnapVol/': xvfs

Here is the sendsize debug file from the client:

It's not able to find the device because
/dev/vx/dsk/datadg1/datavol1:SnapVol doesn't exist.
The actual device is /dev/vx/dsk/datadg1/datavol1.  I an using Veritas's
checkpoint to create
a point in time copy (like a snapshot) of the disk.  The :SnapVol is telling
it the name of this
checkpoint.  Also, it looks like it is still trying to use ufsdump.

Does anyone have any ideas?  Does anyone have this working with checkpoints
like this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
