As others have mentioned, the changes can be automatically removed during the next receive. If that is ok, then it is ok. For NexentaStor's auto-sync service, by default, we do not mount the receiving file systems. We do offer an option to automatically clone the receiving file system snapshot, so you can have a writable copy that doesn't get destroyed by a future receive. -- richard _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
