Hi,
There's something really bizarre in ZFS snaphot specs : "Uses no
separate backing store." .
Hum...if I want to mutualize one physical volume somewhere in my SAN
as THE snaphots backing-store...it becomes impossible to do !
Really bad.
Is there any chance to have a "backing-store-file" option in a future
release ?
In the same idea, it would be great to have some sort of propertie to
add a disk/LUN/physical_space to a pool, only reserved to
backing-store. At now, the only thing I see to disallow users to use
my backing-store space for their usage is to put quota.
If you want to copy your filesystems (or snapshots) to other disks, you
can use 'zfs send' to send them to a different pool (which may even be
on a different machine!).
