Description Sonal 2020-06-09 09:54:10 UTC
Document URL: 

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_gluster_storage/3.5/html-single/administration_guide/index#sect-User_Serviceable_Snapshots

Section Number and Name: 

8.13. User Serviceable Snapshots

Describe the issue: 

To access snapshot via .snaps directory (user serviceable snapshot), it should be activated first. Otherwise, the snapshot directory is not visible in .snaps.

The documentation should mention this.

Suggestions for improvement: 

Activate the snapshot to access it via user-serviceable snapshot:
# gluster snapshot activate <snapshot-name>

Hi Sonal,

Thanks for bringing this to notice. 

We can have this in section but it is mentioned in the beginning of document section 8.13 and will not harm to mention with full description.

'''
With User Serviceable Snapshot feature, you can access the activated snapshots of the snapshot volume.

Hi Sunny,

I missed it in the document. Thanks for pointing.
It would be verbose to add the snapshot activation command in the section: `8.13.1. Enabling and Disabling User Serviceable Snapshot`

Regards,
Sonal Arora
