[zfs-discuss] zfs send/recv partial filesystem?

[Shannon Fiume]

Hi,

I want to send peices of a zfs filesystem to another system. Can zfs 
send peices of a snapshot? Say I only want to send over /[EMAIL PROTECTED] and 
not include /app/conf data while /app/conf is still apart of the 
/[EMAIL PROTECTED] snapshot? I say app/conf as an example, it could be 
webserver/http-webservername/config or a piece of a repository.

I know once the receive -F option is added I'll be able to blow away 
data that's at the receiving host side, which isn't always what I want.

Yes, I know I can use rsync for this.

Thanks in advance,
~~sa

Nope.  You'll have to make /app/conf a different filesystem to accomplish 
your goal with zfs send|recv.
