Hi, all, Environment: S10U3 running as VMWare Workstation 6 guest; Fedora 7 is the VMWare host, 1 GB RAM
I'm creating a solution in which I need to be able to save off state on one host, then restore it on another. I'm using ZFS snapshots with ZFS receive and it's all working fine, except for some strange behavior when I perform multiple rollbacks and receives. Here's what I'm seeing: - On the first host (a VMWare virtual machine, actually), I create an initial snapshot - I modify the state of the ZFS file system - I create a second snapshot - I perform a zfs send with the -i argument between the two snapshots. Size of incremental diffs file is around 1.3 GB. - On the second host (also a VMWare virtual machine, which is a copy of the first host), I perform zfs receive - The receive performs correctly in around 3 to 3 1/2 minutes, and at the end of it, the state of the second host is identical to the state of the first host Now, when I perform the following steps: - Restore the state of the second host to the initial state (using zfs rollback -r snapshotname) - Run zfs receive for a second time on the second host Now the second host appears to lock up. I wait half an hour and the zfs receive command has not completed. I try to terminate the command with cntl-c and I get no response. But if I take the following action: - Open a second terminal window on the second host - Power off the second host (reboot might be enough here but since it's VMWare, poweroff is easy enough) - Restart the second host - Restore the state of the second host to the initial state (using zfs rollback -r snapshotname) - Run zfs receive on the second host Now the state of the second host is restored correctly. The zfs receive takes around 3 to 3/12 minutes. So, is there something I need to do/run on S10 that will let me run zfs receive for the second time without having to restart the OS?
