Replicator & Checkpoint Savvol

Question

My experience has been that there is one savvol per filesystem and both SnapSure & Replicator use it. Has this changed? I see options (which may have been there all along) with fs_ckpt and fs_replicate to limit the savvol's size. If I specify a limit of 10GB for Snapsure and 10GB for Replicator (v2 for argument's sake), does this create a single 20GB savvol or are they competing for the same space. I am hoping for a 20GB savvol with partitioned space; 10 for SnapSure and 10 for repv2.

For Rep V2 there is no longer a dedicated replication savvol.The replication checkpoints are using the same savvol as the 'normal' customer checkpoints (snapsure), only one savvol per FS for them

no - it doesnt matterRepV2 uses regular checkpoints that share the same savvol as user-created checkpointsThe choices where to put it have to be done when you create the *first* checkpoint are:- specify nothing specific - then you get the default size in the same pools as the fs- specify pool and sizes- specify a meta - but then you dont get automatic extension

Would using the savvol= option partition the space within or would it just default to the larger space?

I'm trying to predict free space utilization for a client so I can give them a ceiling on headroom needed in the storage pool. I know the max defaults to 20% of the pool space, but I'd like to fine tune it.
