Hi all I wonder if there has been any new development on this matter over the past 6 months.
Today i pondered an idea of zfs-aware "mv", capable of doing zero read/write of file data when moving files between datasets of one pool. This seems like a "(z)cp" idea proposed in this thread and seems like a trivial job for sun - who have all APIs and functional implementations for cloning and dedup as a means to reference the same block from different files. Such extension to cp should be cheaper than generac dedup and useful for copying any "templated" file sets. i thought of local zones first, but most people may init them by packages (though zoneadm says it is copying thousands of files), so /etc/skel might be a better example of the usecase - though nearly useless ,) jim -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
