Hi Tim (Foster), hi all, first of all: Tim, thank you very much for your very useful auto-snapshot script. I believe this really is what every ZFS user needs.
As a laptop user, I wanted to make sure that I get snapshots taken even if my machine is down every night, so I added at scheduling support to zfs-auto-snapshot, where each job re-schedules it's next execution, thus ending up with a cron-like behaviour. The main advantage is that also the standard Solaris cron runs at jobs retrospectively, so we can live without anything like anacron. The main disadvantage is that with current onnv versions, at jobs are broken in cron, so before working on zfs-auto-snapshot, that's what I had to fix (or at least revert to old code) first (see http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=64739 ). I'll upload zfs-auto-snapshot with my changes here, because i cant post files to Tims blog (or can I?). Tim, feel free to integrate my suggestions or not, I wont feel offended if you don't, but at any rate I am very happy that you maintain this tool. Thanks again, Nils This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
