The solution was pretty easy.

Autosnapshot is just a bunch of cron jobs, /lib/svc/method/zfs-auto-snapshot

When I edit that file, there’s a variable, SEP=":" and the comment says
it’s explicitly editable due to “:” being invalid CIFS character.

Yup, you’re right.

Colon is not a valid character for CIFS.

So now I know the cause.  I only have to figure out the solution.  :-)



Thank you.

It's probably the ":" in the path, the same when you "mkdir test\:1" in a
folder shared by Samba and browse it. I guess it's because Windows can't
recognize this char.

Anyone seen anything like this?



I create a snapshot.



I look at it via “ls”

[r...@filer ~]# ls /share/.zfs/snapshot/

zfs-auto-snap:frequent-2009-05-18-22:17:48



But when I browse there via Samba/CIFS,

\\filer\share\.zfs\snapshot <file:///\\filer\share\.zfs\snapshot>

I only see:  Z0QQ4P~U



I would certainly like to see the same name I had via ls … “zfs-auto-snap:
frequent-2009-05-18-22:17:48”  This is a meaningful and useful name.



I’m running Solaris 10u6 (aka Solaris 10/08)
