You're getting confused between snapshots and filesystems. Read @ as "at", it's a snapshot of that filesystem at a particular point in time. eg, you could create snapshots with names like:
z1/proje...@now z1/proje...@13-july-2009 z1/proje...@my-snapshot They're all snapshots of the z1/projects filesystem, and you can use almost any name you like. To send your filesystem to another machine, here's a quick overview: System1: contains z1/projects System2: has an empty pool z2 1. Take a snapshot: zfs snapshot z1/proje...@now 2. Send the snapshot to z2 zfs send z1/proje...@now | ssh u...@remote.system zfs receive z2/proje...@now 3. End result: Two identical filesystems on each system called: z1/projects z2/projects Each of which has a snapshot of the data from the point you started: z1/proje...@now z2/proje...@now -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
