I created a clone from the most recent snapshot of a filesystem, the clone's parent filesystem was the same as the snapshot itself. When I did a rollback to a previous snapshot it erased my clone. Yes it was really stupid to keep the colne on the same filesystem, I was tired and wasn't thinking clearlt, new to this ZFS stuff. I did it in the web console gui, otherwise I would propably have had chance to think twice before using "zfs destroy -R ..." at command line.
Is there any way to recover a destroyed clone / snapshot. Is there any file carving / recovery tools for ZFS? below is extract from zfs history: 2009-08-05.07:55:30 zfs snapshot data/var-...@screwed-01 2009-08-05.07:56:08 zfs clone data/var-...@screwed-01 data/var-opt/screwed-01-clone 2009-08-05.07:56:40 zfs rollback -R -f data/var-...@patches-03 I want either data/var-...@screwed-01 or data/var-opt/screwed-01-clone The boot environment saved me but ZFS snapshot/rollback cost me dearly, lost emails from 16 July onwards. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
