I was afraid of what would happen if I tried to snapshot the directories that way, that are all unique mount points, not just subdirectories of /export/home. The grep is meant to exclude the current snapshots in the pool.

Will this finsen /export/home-A /export/home { zfs-snapshot include "./[a]*" } actually create snapshots, which is what is happening now, with the individual DLEs for each user. finsenp/export/home/agau...@amanda-_finsenp_export_home_agaupel finsenp/export/home/along @amanda-_finsenp_export_home_along finsenp/export/home/amanda @amanda-_finsenp_export_home_amanda Though if something else, equally good happened I'd be happy, I just don't really know what will happen. thanks, Brian > -- > Jon H.
