Quite usable and should be done. The key problem I see is how to deal with ambiguity. # zpool create pool # zfs create pool/home # zfs set mountpoint=/home pool/home # zfs create pool/home/adams (for Dilbert's master) ... # zfs create pool/home/gerdts (for Me) ... # zfs create pool/home/pool (for Ms. Pool) ... # cd /home # zfs snapshot [EMAIL PROTECTED] What just got snapshotted? My vote would be that it would try the traditional match first, then try to do it by resolving the path. That is, if it would have failed in the past, it should see if the specified path is the root (mountpoint?) of a data set. That way things like the following should work unambigously: # zfs snapshot ./[EMAIL PROTECTED] # zfs snapshot `pwd`/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
