Re: [indiana-discuss] ZFS: time-slider/auto-snapshot service only taking snapshots of rpool, ignoring pool tank

2009-12-14 Thread Calum Mackay
Having upgraded to build 129, I now find that time-slider seems not to work at all. I'm not seeing any snapshots created at all, for either rpool or tank, with no apparent reason. Services are all enabled, no apparent errors. The verbose setting seems to have gone, from the time-slider

thanks much indeed, Andrew, that was it precisely. I had the same problem on a fresh install of 128a. It looks like time-slider won't recursively snapshot from the top level. I've logged a bug: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=13301 thanks again. cheers, calum.

thanks Shawn, You can't use PKG_CACHEDIR=/var/tmp at the moment due to: 12986 cross-device link traceback on install I thought that was the workaround for 12986, no? Try not setting PKG_CACHEDIR at all. I am not setting it, in any case. I was just wondering whether it was safe to

thanks, That entirely depends on how your filesystem is setup/split. That workaround should work if you are using the default filesystem setup that an install from an OpenSolaris LiveCD gives you. I think I am; I installed 127 from USB, into a 100GB partition of a larger disk.
