I have lots of users who are addicted to NetApp's snapshot so much! The tricky part is exporting FIDs over NFS in a way that allows you to 'cd ..' from any .zfs direcotry (or snapshot within .zfs/snapshots) and end up back where you started, because the snapshots are exported as part of the parent filesystem, even though under the hood they are different vfs_t structures. I'd encourage you to work on the RFE yourself - any implementation would certainly be appreciated. This possibility was originally why the 'snapdir' property was named as it was, so we could someday support 'snapdir=every' to export .zfs in every directory. - Eric -- Eric Schrock, Fishworkshttp://blogs.sun.com/eschrock ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

Thanks. But too many file systems may be an issue for management and also normal user cannot create file system. I think it should go like what NetApp's snapshot does. It is a pity. Thanks.
