You have to set it up to do what you want. If you take a snapshot, and then send deltas with the "zfs send -i" option, then you'll just send the deltas over. If you don't, then you'll end up sending everything. It's not automatic; you have to choose what you want to send. See the zfs(1M) man page for details. Note also that the data format for the ZFS send/receive mechanism isn't stable. Unless these two systems are running exactly the same OS build and are upgraded in lock-step fashion, you may run into problems. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[email protected]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
