Hi, I was wondering if anyone else had encountered the same problem that I have when sharing ZFS pools over Samba:
I have a ZFS pool with several sub-pools on it, all of which, at the moment have the same properties, which I include below. NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE shares type filesystem - shares creation Sat Oct 22 23:44 2011 - shares used 518G - shares available 1.50T - shares referenced 50.9K - shares compressratio 1.00x - shares mounted yes - shares quota none default shares reservation none default shares recordsize 128K default shares mountpoint /shares default shares sharenfs off default shares checksum on default shares compression off default shares atime on default shares devices on default shares exec on default shares setuid on default shares readonly off default shares jailed off default shares snapdir visible local shares aclmode groupmask default shares aclinherit restricted default shares canmount on default shares shareiscsi off default shares xattr off temporary shares copies 1 default shares version 3 - shares utf8only off - shares normalization none - shares casesensitivity sensitive - shares vscan off default shares nbmand off default shares sharesmb off default shares refquota none default shares refreservation none default shares primarycache all default shares secondarycache all default shares usedbysnapshots 0 - shares usedbydataset 50.9K - shares usedbychildren 518G - shares usedbyrefreservation 0 - I have a script running as a cronjob which does rotating snapshots. On all of the sub pools, there are daily and weekly snapshots, but on two of the pools, there are hourly snapshots as well. When sharing the snapshots over SMB to a windows 7 desktop, there are certain subfolders in the sub-pools that are heavily snapshotted that show multiple folders - I haven't tried to count them all, but it seems that each folder is duplicated about as many times as there are snapshots. I have no problem accessing these folders, and weirdly this does not affect the entire sub-pool, just random folders within it. I'm running Debian kFreebsd 6.0.3, with ZFS verison 8. It is running on an AMD Fusion board, although I'm not convinced that should make a difference. It may be that this is a windows problem, I only ask as I am looking to deploy this set up, and want to iron out the kinks. Cheers if you can help, no worries if not.
