I'm not sure you've been following this thread. Nobody said .zfs/snapshot wasn't available over NFS. It was said that all the snapshot subdirectories ".zfs/snapshot/frequent-blah" and ".zfs/snapshot/hourly-foo" and so on ... Over NFS there's no way to know the time those snapshots were taken. There is a convention of writing the time of the snapshot into the name of the snapshot, but if you can't rely on that, then the NFS client doesn't know the order of snapshots. > And you can even create, rename and destroy snapshots by creating, > renaming and removing directories in .zfs/snapshot: > > % mkdir .zfs/snapshot/foo > % mv .zfs/snapshot/foo .zfs/snapshot/bar > % rmdir .zfs/snapshot/bar > > (All this also works locally, not just over ZFS.) Holy crap, for real? I'll have to try that. ;-) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
