I'm running Windows 7 64bit and VMware player 3 with Solaris 10 64bit as a client. I have added additional hard drive to virtual Solaris 10 as physical drive. Solaris 10 can see and use already created zpool without problem. I could also create additional zpool on the other mounted raw device. I can also synchronize zfs file system to other physical disk and the other zpool with zfs send/receive.
All those physical disks are presented in Windows 7 and not initialized. The problem that I have now is that each created snapshot is always equal to zero... zfs just not storing changes that I have made to the file system before making a snapshot. Before each snapshot I have added or deleted different files, so the snapshot should archive those differences but this is not my case. :-( My zfs list looks now like this: r...@sl-node01:~# zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT mypool01 91.9G 137G 23K /mypool01 mypool01/storage01 91.9G 137G 91.7G /mypool01/storage01 mypool01/storag...@30032010-1 0 - 91.9G - mypool01/storag...@30032010-2 0 - 91.9G - mypool01/storag...@30032010-3 0 - 91.7G - mypool02 91.9G 137G 24K /mypool02 mypool02/copies 23K 137G 23K /mypool02/copies mypool02/storage01 91.9G 137G 91.9G /mypool02/storage01 mypool02/storag...@30032010-1 0 - 91.9G - mypool02/storag...@30032010-2 0 - 91.9G - As you can see each snapshot is equal to zero besides changes that I have made to zfs content. I would like to understand what is making virtual Solaris 10 impossible to track those changes with creating a snapshot? Is it problem with Windows, VMware player or basically with mounted raw device to virtual machine? Does someone has experinace with this issue?
