Hello all, Sorry if you think that question is stupid, but i need to ask.. Imagine a normal situation on a NFS server with "N" client nodes. The objects of the shares is software (/usr/ for instance), and the admin wants to make available new versions of a few packages. So, would be nice if the admin could associate a NFS share and a ZFS snapshot? I mean, the admin have the option to make a snapshot on that ZFS filesystem, make the update on the binaries, and just a few machines would see that changes. I know, there are a lot of ways to do that... but i think that would be nice (better). That would economize space, and the administration task would be very easy (ZFS intend to be easy). I think ZFS have solved the "Stale NFS file Handle" on the "mount point", and all woul be necessary would be a respawn for precesses already in memory (on migrated clients). So... What do you think about a feature like that? useful, crazy? Thanks very much for your time!
