I followed the formula in zfs(1M) to replicate a zfs filesytem remotely. The initial transfer works as I expected (and as documented). The filesystems were created on the remote side and the data transferred. The man page is really difficult to interpret as to whether the data will be in the filesystem or only in the snapshot, but anyway it did what I wanted.
Then I added a file to one of the filesystems and took a second snapshot, and sent it with 'zfs send -i'. No errors from the 'zfs recv' but the data does not appear. There *is* a new snapshot on the remote side, but it's not accessible. Also, the first snapshot is now no longer accessible, in fact all of .zfs is no longer accessible. This is a zoned filesystem. Here you can see they contain the same amount of data: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]# zfs list -r export/zone/smb/share/tmp NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT export/zone/smb/share/tmp 48K 225G 25.5K /share/tmp export/zone/smb/share/[EMAIL PROTECTED] 22.5K - 24.5K - export/zone/smb/share/[EMAIL PROTECTED] 0 - 25.5K - [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]# [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]# zfs list -r export/zone/smb/share/tmp NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT export/zone/smb/share/tmp 48K 225G 25.5K /share/tmp export/zone/smb/share/[EMAIL PROTECTED] 22.5K - 24.5K - export/zone/smb/share/[EMAIL PROTECTED] 0 - 25.5K - [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]# But when I login to zone smb and cd to /share/tmp/.zfs I get 'no such file or directory'. This does exist for other filesystems like /zone/eng/.zfs. hmm ok if I reboot the zone .zfs shows up and the filesystem itself (not just the snapshot) contains the new data. Curiously the 7.1 snapshot contains data now. NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT export/zone/smb/share/tmp 69.5K 225G 25.5K /share/tmp export/zone/smb/share/[EMAIL PROTECTED] 22.5K - 24.5K - export/zone/smb/share/[EMAIL PROTECTED] 21.5K - 25.5K - [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]# So, questions: 1. Is the need to reboot a bug? Certainly having the other snapshots go missing seems like a bug. 2. Why does the 7.1 snapshot have the extra space? This is S10 06/06 on x86. thanks -frank _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
