Hello! While being on Linux I was using lvm2 volumes in raid-1 with ext4 filesystems and defining DLEs was quite straightforward.
Recently moved to Free(PC)BSD and everything is handled by ZFS, so I wonder how to properly define my DLEs to regularly backup my desktop machine to LTO-2 tapes? Here is zfslist output: [gour@atmarama gour] zfs list ~ NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT tank0 550G 363G 31K legacy tank0/ROOT 5.51G 363G 31K legacy tank0/ROOT/default 5.51G 363G 5.51G /mnt tank0/root 40.1M 363G 40.1M /root tank0/swap 2.06G 365G 37.8M - tank0/tmp 126K 363G 126K /tmp tank0/usr 543G 363G 31K /mnt/usr tank0/usr/home 530G 363G 73.5K /usr/home tank0/usr/home/gour 530G 363G 530G /usr/home/gour tank0/usr/jails 83.8M 363G 83.8M /usr/jails tank0/usr/obj 31K 363G 31K /usr/obj tank0/usr/pbi 11.6G 363G 11.6G /usr/pbi tank0/usr/ports 782M 363G 676M /usr/ports tank0/usr/ports/distfiles 106M 363G 106M /usr/ports/distfiles tank0/usr/src 435M 363G 435M /usr/src tank0/var 671K 363G 31K /mnt/var tank0/var/audit 31K 363G 31K /var/audit tank0/var/log 564K 363G 564K /var/log tank0/var/tmp 44.5K 363G 44.5K /var/tmp Any hint? I'm a bit confused by this article: http://www.tc.mtu.edu/~jfb/amanda-zfs.php saying: "To add ZFS filesystem entries to your AMANDA disklist, use the absolute mount point. zfs list, used by the dump wrapper, indicates a mount point of "legacy" in the case of root-on-ZFS, but AMANDA appears to look for /dev/legacy if "legacy" is used in disklist, which causes a host-check error and prevents the filesystem from being backed up, so be sure to use "/" for the filesystem/device. The wrapper script will take care of the conversion of "/" to "legacy". Is it relevant only when using dump? I plan to use gnutar and have root-on-ZFS...
