Additional information. I started another run, and captured the exact expanded commands. These SHOULD BE the exact commands used in the last run except for the snapshot name (this script makes a recursive snapshot just before it starts a backup). In any case they ARE the exact commands used in this new run, and we'll see what happens at the end of this run.
(These are from a bash trace as produced by "set -x") + zfs create -p bup-wrack/fsfs/zp1 + zfs send -Rp z...@bup-20100810-154542gmt + zfs recv -Fud bup-wrack/fsfs/zp1 (The send and the receive are source and sink in a pipeline). As you can see, the destination filesystem is new in the bup-wrack pool. The "-R" on the send should, as I understand it, create a replication stream which will "replicate the specified filesystem, and all descendent file systems, up to the named snapshot. When received, all properties, snapshots, descendent file systems, and clones are preserved." This should send the full state of zp1 up to the snapshot. And the receive should receive it into bup-wrack/fsfs/zp1.) Isn't this how a "full backup" should be made using zfs send/receive? (Once this is working, I think intend to use -I to send incremental streams to update it regularly.) bash-4.0$ zpool list NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT bup-wrack 928G 4.62G 923G 0% 1.00x ONLINE /backups/bup-wrack rpool 149G 10.0G 139G 6% 1.00x ONLINE - zp1 1.09T 743G 373G 66% 1.00x ONLINE - zp1 is my primary data pool. It's not very big (physically it's 3 2-way mirrors of 400GB drives). It has 743G of data in it. bup-wrack is the backup pool, it's a single 1TB external USB drive. This was taken shortly after starting the second try at a full backup (since the b134 upgrade), so bup-wrack is still mostly empty. None of the pools have shown any errors of any sort in months. zp1 and rpool are scrubbed weekly. -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
