ls might show just a file named 'foo' but if you typed cd foo@@/ then ls you might see files in this new 'directory' named 1 2 3 etc. that reperesent the snapshots of that file over time. I mentioned clearcase, but I was not suggesting implementing an SCM tool. Just using the existing UI for live access to previous versions. -Kyle _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
