I'm curious about something. Wouldn't ZFS `send` and `recv` be a perfect fit for Apple Time Machine in Leopard if glued together by some scripts? In this scenario you could have an external volume and simply send snapshots to it and reciprocate as needed with recv.
Also, it would seem that Apple really can't push ZFS into Mac OS X until evacuation of data and removal of vdevs is supported for pools. Once this is in place it would seem reasonable that Apple would more than want to push ZFS rw support into Leopard. This would then allow for very flexible and robust usage for desktop users as well in that folks will very often wish to manipulate their storage arrangement in terms of saying "woops, I didn't mean to put that volume here permanently, I need to remove it!" This would especially be true of firewire/usb drives for "backups" and all sorts of questions that would arise. A simple, `remove` would be perfect to cure these blues. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
