SnapRevert not working

Hi There,

we have attempted to restore a directory using snaprevert however it is always failing, it seems to be across our cluster. we have not set a domainmark in advanced of filling the directories with data. is DomainMark a compulsory step before a snapshot can be restored with SnapRevert?

we can see the data in the snapshots and can manually cp -r /ifs/.snap/path/to/files /ifs/target/path however that is a very slow method ~(90 mins for 40GB, unusable method for a sizeable restore)

When attempting to run domainmark at same level as the snapshot that process also seems to fail. I assumed domainmark just put a READ ONLY flag on the dir whist it was being restored and was not an actual requirement?

if it is, then we are going to be busy running a lot of domainmarks across our cluster as we have over 100 policies. I have tested on the isilon simulator and I am getting similar results
