Thank you gentlemen for your quick replies. The ZFS upgrade process sounds like it'll be a snap since I'll simply use the native ZFS version 2 on my next install/upgrade and simply import my data from the existing backup pools (prior to ZFS v2). Keep up the great work! This message posted

[zfs-discuss] On-write Automatic Snapshot

2006-05-22 Thread Alex Barclay
Apologies if this has been addressed, but looking at some of the sun blogs and google searches I have not been able to find an answer. Does ZFS support on write automatic snapshots? For example, according to defined policy, every time a file is written a snapshot is created with the diff stored.

Cool, I'll try the tool and for good measure the data I posted was sequential access (from logical point of view). As for the physical layout, Idon't know, it's quite possible that ZFS has layed out all blocks sequentially on the physical side; so certainly this is not a good way

Hi Bob, The Lockhart application console, in which the ZFS web application sits, was uprev'ed from 2.2.x to 3.0 in build 37. We did not receive any notice of this from the Lockhart team until bugs started coming in against the ZFS GUI. Since then the ZFS GUI has been ported to the new Lockhart 3
