Hello, this is with reference to bug #6343653, "want to quickly "copy" a file from a snapshot".
After a short dig through source code, the issue is that 'mv' will do a copy because the rename syscall fails for files on different filesystems (snapshots are mounted as separate filesystems from the host filesystem). There are 2 ways around this: 1) Hack/Modify the rename syscall to special case the ZFS snapshot situation 2) Implement a special internal ZFS call, which is only used by something like "zfs mv <source> <destination>" Implementation wise, I prefer 2. Thoughts anyone? :) -- Regards, Jeremy _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
