Hi, I'm trying to send a pool (its filesystems) from a pc to another, so I first created a recursive snapshot:
# zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT nas 840G 301G 3,28G /nas nas/drivers 12,6G 301G 12,6G /nas/drivers nas/nwserv 110G 301G 49,0G /nas/nwserv nas/rsync_clienti 166G 301G 17,5G /nas/rsync_clienti nas/rsync_privati 560M 301G 36,5K /nas/rsync_privati nas/rsync_privati/gianluca 560M 301G 560M /nas/rsync_privati/gianluca nas/samba 486G 301G 486G /nas/samba nas/sviluppo-bak 1,91G 301G 1,60G /nas/sviluppo-bak nas/winsrv 60,0G 301G 55,1G /nas/winsrv # zfs snapshot -r n...@t1 zfs list -t snapshot -r nas | grep T1 n...@t1 0 - 3,28G - nas/driv...@t1 0 - 12,6G - nas/nws...@t1 0 - 49,0G - nas/rsync_clie...@t1 101K - 17,5G - nas/rsync_priv...@t1 0 - 36,5K - nas/rsync_privati/gianl...@t1 0 - 560M - nas/sa...@t1 0 - 486G - nas/sviluppo-...@t1 0 - 1,60G - nas/win...@t1 0 - 55,1G - So, now I have a recursive snapshot encompassing all my nas pool and its filesystems. Then I issued a: pfexec /sbin/zfs send -R n...@t1 | ssh biscotto pfexec /sbin/zfs recv -dF iscsi/nasone this one from an user account which has auto login on the receiving box; the copy started ok and kept running for more than an hour, but stopped with this error: warning: cannot send 'nas/nws...@zfs-auto-snap.frequent-2009-06-08-11.00': no such pool or dataset warning: cannot send 'nas/nws...@zfs-auto-snap.frequent-2009-06-08-11.15': no such pool or dataset warning: cannot send 'nas/nws...@t1': incremental source (@zfs-auto-snap.frequent-2009-06-08-11.15) does not exist Now, from the error it seems that T1 needs all the snapshots which were active at the time it was created, which is not what I would expect from a snapshot. I've now stopped the auto-snapshot service and restarted the send, but I'm wondering if this is the correct and expected behaviour or If I'm making something wrong or maybe I did not fully understand what send -R is supposed to do.
