Running b 151a in Vbox This is my first real try at using the send/receive commands offered in zfs.
I'm moving data from one vm guest on a debian linux OS to a new vm guest on a win7 OS. I thought there would be a way to have a file system on the old server to just be duplicated on the new. On the new I created a zpool of the same name that the filesystems are in on the old server. But no zfs filesystems. So oldserver: zp2/hosts mountpoint=/hosts zp2/hosts/reader And on newserver just the pool zp2 So with: zfs send zp2/hosts@111030_14:43:17_0 | ssh 192.168.1.101 zfs recv zp2/hosts But on newserver the mountpoint is lost and zp2/hosts is mounted on /zp2/hosts I'm confused about what the various flags do but guessing some flag or combination of flags will make the mountpoint come out the same during send/recv. When I try with the -R flag on the send end I get an error about `reader'. # zfs send -R zp2/hosts@111030_14:43:17_0 | ssh 192.168.1.101 zfs recv zp2/hosts Password: WARNING: could not send zp2/hosts/reader@111030_14:43:17_0: does not exist zp2/hosts was created and with the right mount point, but I don't understand why I get a warning about trying to send a snapshot of `zp2/hosts/reader@111030_14:43:17_0' when I did not attempt to do that.. and there isn't even a snapshot of zp2/hosts/reader with that name. So I've now sent the main data load which is in reader with: zfs send -R zp2/hosts/reader@111030_14:40:31_0 | ssh 192.168.1.101 zfs recv zp2/hosts/reader It appears to be working although I won't know for sure for a couple of hours. So is the only way to do this is in two moves? Or can it be done in 1 move? _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
