Setting nosnapdir on a volume has what effect?

• A. Enables Access to Snapshot Copies
• B. Disables Client Access to Snapshot Copies
• C. Deletes Snapshot Copies
• D. Affects Only Mirroring Settings

Answer: (B)

Nosnapdir on a volume hides the .snapshot directory from client access. That directory is what clients use to browse and open Snapshot Copies through the file system. When nosnapdir is set, the .snapshot directory isn’t created or visible, so users can’t access snapshot copies via the path they normally use. The actual snapshot copies still exist and can be managed via administrative tools, but they’re not accessible through the standard client filesystem view. It does not delete snapshots or change mirroring settings.
