1. A method for use in resizing snapshot mount points in storage systems, the method comprising:
- receiving a request to resize a snapshot mount point, wherein the snapshot mount point is selected from a set of snapshot mount points, wherein the snapshot mount point is a logical object accessible for using a replica of a logical volume and provides a set of interfaces for resizing the replica of the logical volume, wherein the replica of the logical volume represents a state of the logical volume at a particular prior point in time;
retrieving a file object associated with the snapshot mount point;
analyzing the file object to determine a file attached to the snapshot mount point;
determining a file ID for an underlying file associated with the determined file; and
resizing the file associated with the file ID via the snapshot mount point.

Abstract
A method is used for managing snapshot mount points in storage systems. A request to resize a snapshot mount point is received and a file object associated with the snapshot mount point is retrieved. The file object is analyzed to determine a file attached to the snapshot mount point and a file ID is determined for an underlying file associated with the determined file. The file associated with the file ID is resized.
