Karel, You can't create snapshots in a read-only pool.
You will have to use something else besides zfs snapshots, such as tar or cpio. You could have used zfs send if a snapshot already existed but you can't write anything to the pool when it is in read-only mode. Thanks, Cindy On 11/25/10 08:32, Karel Gardas wrote:
Hello, I'm trying to recover from zfs pool crash described here: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=135675&tstart=0 -- I've successfully used Victor's advice and now I do have my pool imported in read-only mode. I see the data on filesystems and would like to backup all of them using zfs send/zfs receive to another backup pool. My problem is that `zfs send' supports sending only of snapshot and I cannot create any new snapshot on the read-only pool. Is there any workaround for this? Something for example like virtual @now snapshot would be great to have for those purposes IMHO... Thanks for any idea! Karel
