In OCI File Storage, snapshots are point-in-time, read-only copies of a file system that do not immediately consume additional storage beyond the space needed to track changes.
* Incorrect Statement:The statement that a new snapshot consumes more storage even if nothing has changed isincorrect. Snapshots are space-efficient; they only consume additional storage as changes are made to the file system after the snapshot is taken. If no changes are made between snapshots, the storage consumption remains minimal.
* Correct Statements:
* B.Before cloning a file system, at least one snapshot must exist, as the clone operation relies on this snapshot to create a copy.
* C.Snapshots are accessible under the.snapshotdirectory, allowing users to view and restore files from specific snapshots.
* D.Snapshots provide a consistent, point-in-time view of the file system, ensuring data integrity.
