I have a openindiana server that is used as a windows share. Users can recover files themselves using the previous versions feature within windows. The snapshots used to be managed by timesliderd and when a previous versions was listed on a directory (folder) it would list all the snapshots.
Time-sliderd has since broken the claim to be running and all the snapshot services claim to be running but no snapshots are created. So I implemented a work around of snapshotting using my own script, and currently an occasional manual clean. My script is zfs_snap #!/bin/bash date=`/usr/gnu/bin/date +%Y-%m-%d_%Hh%M` /usr/sbin/zfs snapshot -r tank/prod@john-auto_$1_$date Called via crontab 0 1 1 * * /root/zfs_snap monthly 0 21 * * 5 /root/zfs_snap weekly 0 20 * * * /root/zfs_snap daily 0 * * * * /root/zfs_snap hourly 15,30,45 * * * * /root/zfs_snap frequent But now only some of the snapshots make it through to windows although they all exist on the server. Any idea why?
