I've been tinkering with send/receive trying to understand how it all works.
I've found what appears to my inexperienced eyes to be something of an anomaly. I successfully sent/received two filesystems: zp2/hosts zp2/hosts/reader I think I made some changes in a certain script, and maybe more than 1 since that move. So since the amount of data in zp2/hosts is nearly minuscule (5 scripts), I decided to just send/receive zp2/hosts on the old server to zp2/hosts_old, then at my leisure, investigate the differences. Inadvertently, I forgot to take off the -R flag and so used this command: zfs send -R zp2/hosts@111030_14:43:17_0 | ssh 192.168.1.101 zfs recv zp2/hosts_old Password: And received this warning: WARNING: could not send zp2/hosts/reader@111030_14:43:17_0 exist cannot mount '/hosts': directory is not empty I don't understand either part of that warning. I've already posted about the first part (reader@111030_14:43:17_0) so here just questioning the second part.... Why would `/hosts' need to be mounted? (I think it is about the receiving host.. right?) But what is really puzzling, is that newserver reports that data set to be present: zfs list -r zp2 NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT zp2 10.2G 193G 31K /zp2 zp2/hosts 10.2G 193G 464K /hosts zp2/hosts/reader 10.2G 193G 4.29G /hosts/reader zp2/hosts_old 528K 193G 464K /hosts So has the content of zp2/hosts been overwritten? _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
