Dan, I have to +1 all of your well-thought-out comments. As a potential consuming of this functionality for the Immutable Service Container project, answers to these questions are critical. I am also interested in whether additional fields can be added to the output similar to a "-o field1,field2" scenario? It would be nice to have data such as file type, modification time (where applicable). Also, will this functionality be able to tell how files were modified? Things like changes in file ownership, group membership, permissions and ACLs, size, times, etc.? Even if this processing is not directly implemented as part of the zfs diff command, perhaps the fields could be made available (per -o comment above) to be consumed by layered tools?
A very detailed human readable diff of file attributes seems a lot of additional work to place on zfs diff. Isn't a list of what is different sufficient to give to another program? - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance [email protected] http://blogs.sun.com/barts "You will contribute more with mercurial than with thunderbird." _______________________________________________ opensolaris-arc mailing list [email protected]
