Listing Snapshots

List File Storage snapshots of file systems.

Snapshots are accessible on the file system at ./snapshot/<snapshot_name>.

Note

When you use an NFSv3 client to perform operations such as ls, du, or find on the snapshot directory, the service automatically exports the directory. The client uses nfs_d_automount() to detect and mount the directory. After the directory is detected and mounted the first time, the client mounts the directory automatically.
    1. On the File Systems list page, select the file system that contains the snapshot that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the file system, see Listing File Systems.
    2. On the details page, select Snapshots.

  • Use the fs snapshot list command and required parameters to list snapshots for a file system:

    oci fs snapshot list --file-system-id <file_system_OCID>

    For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

  • Run the ListSnapshots operation to list snapshots.
