Thanks! :-) No, wait! .... According to that page, if you "zfs receive -n" then you should get a 0 exit status for success, and 1 for error. Unfortunately, I've been sitting here and testing just now ... I created a "zfs send" datastream, then I made a copy of it and toggled a bit in the middle to make it corrupt ... I found that the "zfs receive -n" always returns 0 exit status, even if the data stream is corrupt. In order to get the "1" exit status, you have to get rid of the "-n" which unfortunately means writing the completely restored filesystem to disk. I've sent a message to Richard to notify him of the error on his page. But it would seem, the zstreamdump must be the only way to verify the integrity of a stored data stream. I haven't tried it yet, and I'm out of time for today... _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
