I can now see the snapshots in the CLI if i do a mkdir from the windows command line as opposed to getting stuck with a "New Folder", which seems to confuse the CLI (maybe snapshots cant have spaces in the name?
I was wondering, if there was an easy way for us to script zfs home filesystem creation upon connection to an AD joined cifs server? samba had some cool stuff with preexec and I just wonder if something like that is available for the kernel mode cifs driver. -Andy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Andy Lubel Sent: Sun 5/11/2008 2:24 AM To: Mark Shellenbaum; Paul B.

I confirmed that it does work, but its strange that I don't see the snapshot in 'zfs list' on the zfs box. Is that a bug or a feature? Im using XP - another thing is that if you right click in the .zfs/snapshot directory and do new -> folder you will be stuck with a snapshot called "New Folder". I couldn't rename it and the only way to delete it was to log into the machine and do a lil 'rm -Rf'. good news is that it is snapshotting :) I have a simple backup script where I use robocopy and then at the end I want to do a 'mkdir .zfs/snapshot/xxx', but I would eventually want to delete the oldest snapshot, similar to the zsnap.pl script floating around. Cant wait to try this on NFS, the whole reason we objected to snapshots in the first place in our org was because our admins didn't want to be involved with the users for the routine of working with snapshots. -Andy _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
