I’ve posted a query regarding the visibility of snapshots via CIFS here (http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=130577&tstart=0) however, I’m beginning to suspect that it may be a more fundamental ZFS question so I’m asking the same question here.
At what level does the “zfs” directory exist? If the “.zfs” subdirectory only exists as the direct child of the mount point then can someone suggest how I can make it visible lower down without requiring me (even if it were possible for 50k users) to make each users’ home folder a file system? By way of a background, I’m looking at the possibility of hosting our students personal file space on OpenSolaris since the capacities required go well beyond my budget to keep investing in our NetApp kit. So far I’ve managed to implement the same functionality however, the visibility of the snapshots to allow self-service file restores is a real issue which may prevent me for going forward on this platform. I’d appreciate any suggestions. Thanks Michael. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
