I've been saving up a few wishlist items for zfs. Time to share. 1. A verbose (-v) option to the zfs commandline.
In particular zfs sometimes takes a while to return from zfs snapshot -r tank/[EMAIL PROTECTED] in the case where there are a great many iscsi shared volumes underneath. A little progress feedback would go a long way. In general I feel the zfs tools lack sufficient feedback and/or logging of actions, and this'd be a great start. 2. LUN management and/or general iscsi integration enhancement Some of these iscsi volumes I'd like to be under the same target but with different LUNs. A means for mapping that would be excellent. As would a means to specify the IQN explicitly, and the set of permitted initiators. 3. zfs rollback on clones. It should be possible to rollback a clone to the origin snapshot, yes? Right now the tools won't allow it. I know I can hack in a race-sensitive snapshot of the new volume immediately after cloning, but I already have many hundreds of entities and I'm trying not to proliferate them. Similarly the ability to do zfs send -i [clone origin snapshot1] snapshot2 in order to efficiently transmit/backup clones would be terrific. - Joshua This email, including any attachments, is intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above and may contain information that is confidential and privileged.
