This is what I've done, but am still a bit stuck, as it doesn't quite work!
I scan the zpool list for the drive (I created backup1/data and backup2/data on the two USB drives) /usr/sbin/zpool import backup2 /usr/sbin/zfs snapshot -r rp...@20090715033358 /usr/sbin/zfs destroy rpool/s...@20090715033358 /usr/sbin/zfs destroy rpool/d...@20090715033358 /usr/sbin/zfs send -R rp...@20090715033358 | /usr/sbin/zfs recv -d -F backup2/dump /usr/sbin/zfs unmount -f /backup2 # one of the rpool bits is shared, if I don't do this it refuses to export /usr/sbin/zpool export backup2 The send/recv bit isn't working. It moans : /usr/sbin/zfs send -R rp...@20090715033358 | /usr/sbin/zfs recv -d -F backup2/dump cannot receive new filesystem stream: destination has snapshots (eg. backup2/d...@zfs-auto-snap:monthly-2009-06-29-12:47) must destroy them to overwrite it. I get dozens of auto-snapshots in there which I'm not sure how they got there? I've not got the timeslider set to create anything in backup/ - I think they're being created when the send/recv runs? When I try after deleting all the snapshots on backup2/ (be nice if zfs destroy took multiple arguments!) it seems to cheerfully recreate all those snapshots etc, but I really only want it to grab the one I took. zfs list shows : zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT backup2 15.4G 898G 23K /backup2 backup2/dump 15.4G 898G 84.5K /backup2/dump backup2/dump/ROOT 15.1G 898G 21K legacy backup2/dump/ROOT/b118 15.0G 898G 11.3G / backup2/dump/ROOT/opensolaris 37.4M 898G 5.02G / backup2/dump/ROOT/opensolaris-1 88.2M 898G 11.2G / backup2/dump/cashmore 194K 898G 22K /backup2/dump/cashmore backup2/dump/export 232M 898G 23K /export backup2/dump/export/home 232M 898G 737K /export/home backup2/dump/export/home/carl 228M 898G 166M /export/home/carl rpool 17.4G 896G 84.5K /rpool rpool/ROOT 15.1G 896G 19K legacy rpool/ROOT/b118 15.0G 896G 11.3G / rpool/ROOT/opensolaris 37.7M 896G 5.02G / rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-1 88.4M 896G 11.2G / rpool/cashmore 199K 896G 22K /rpool/cashmore rpool/dump 1018M 896G 1018M - rpool/export 232M 896G 23K /export rpool/export/home 232M 896G 736K /export/home rpool/export/home/carl 228M 896G 166M /export/home/carl rpool/swap 1018M 897G 101M - now if I try again to send to it, is there a magic incantation to recv that says "incremental update"? Is this the right way to do what I'm trying to do? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
