Quoting Chris Kirby (chris.ki...@sun.com):
If you have a snapshot named "p...@snap", this:
# rmdir /pool/.zfs/snapshot/snap
is equivalent to this:
# zfs destroy p...@snap
Similarly, this:
# mkdir /pool/.zfs/snapshot/snap
is equivalent to this:
# zfs snapshot p...@snap
This can be very handy if you want to create or destroy
a snapshot from an NFS client, for example.
Oh, right. This is where my newbieness kicks in. I didn't know just
doing a mkdir in the snapshot directory actually -creates- a snapshot.
Thanks for this clarification.
I think i will toggle snapdir=visible/hidden to overcome this problem,
or add it to --excludes perhaps.
Yes. This is why the snapshots are not visible by default... legacy
backup software (eg tar) would want to back them up, which would be
redundant, redundant.
