Thanks Darren. let me try to put this in points - 1. ZFS atomic operation that commits data. 2. Writes come into the app. 3. The db put in hotbackup mode. 4. Snapshot taken on storage. 5. ZFS atomic operation that commits data.
So if i do a snap restore, ZFS might revert to point1, but from the db perspective, it is inconsistent and we would need to do a recovery..correct?. Lets say between 3 and 4 i manually wanted to do what ZFS does in point 5, would just sync do the job here?. Taking a zfs snaphost might take a snap at point 1..which might not work from teh db perspective. Am i getting this right?.
