Title: Should Snapshots / ZFS feel longer during the reboots?
Post by: BigFreddy on October 04, 2026, 10:02:13 PM
Hi,

I recently noticed that adding a new snapshot and activating it so that it becomes active after a reboot, it feels like the reboot process is taking at least another minute or so to fully boot, I didn't exactly count but it felt longer. Is this expected to happen as in the reboot taking longer and also what is happening during the reboot when someone adds and activates a new snapshot?

Thanks,
BigFreddy

The snapshot is a filesystem operation, so no,, it is not expected to add or reduce booting times.
There could be something causing it but it is unlikely to be related to the new snapshot.
