[zfs-discuss] snapshot features

2007-04-16 Thread Selim Daoud

hi all ,

when doing several zfs snapshot of a given fs, there are dependencies
between snapshots that complexify the management of snapshots
is there a plan to easy thes dependencies, so we can reach snapshot
functionalities that are offered in other products suchs as Compellent
(http://www.compellent.com/products/software/continuous_snapshots.aspx)

Compellent software allows to set **retention periods** for different
snapshots and will manage their migration or deletion automatically

thanks
s.

retention period is pretty easily managed via cron 


Yeah but cron isn't easily managed by anything. :-P
