last question! I promise :) Google's not helped me much, but that's probably my keyword-ignorance.
I have two USB HDD's, I want to swap them over, so there's one off-site and one plugged in, they get swapped over weekly. Not perfect, but sufficient for this site's risk assessment. They'll have the relevant ZFS snapshots sent to them. I assume then that if I plug one of these drives into another box that groks ZFS it'll see a filesystem and be able to access the files etc. I formatted two drives, 1TB drives. The tricky bit I think, is swapping them. I can mount one, and then send/recv to it, but what's the best way to automate the process of swapping the drives? A human has to physically switch them on & off and plug them in etc, but what's the process to do it in ZFS? Does each drive need a separate mountpoint? In the old UFS days I'd have just mounted them from an entry in (v)fstab in a cronjob and they'd be the same as far as everything was concerned, but with ZFS I'm a little confused. Can anyone here outline the procedure to do this assuming that the USB drives will be plugged into the same USB port (the server will be in a cabinet, the backup drives outside of it so they don't have to open the cabinet, and thus, bump things that don't like to be bumped!). Thankyou again for everyone's help. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
