Still can't work out why creating a map snapshot fails.
I took a look at the directories, permissions and file space. The
directory permissions look fine to me.
We are using Netview 5.1.
Here are the directories and permissions:
wo01u# ls -R -al /usr/OV/databases/openview/mapdb/

The file space looks OK but how much disk space does a snapshot require?
