Hi Darren, Thanks for your info.
Sorry below might be lengthy : Yes I am looking for actual implementation rather how to use zpool split. My requirement is not at zfs file system level and also not zfs snapshot. As I understood, If my zpool say mypool is created using " zpool create mypool mirror device1 device2" and after running : zfs split mypool newpool device2 ", I can access device2 with newpool Same data on newpool is available as mypool as long as there are no writes/modifications to newpool. What i am looking for is, if my devices ( say zpool is created with only one device device1) are from an array and I took array snapshot ( zfs /zpool doesn't come in picture as I take hardware snapshot), I will get a snapshot device say device2. I am looking for a way to use the snapshot device device2 by recreating the zpool and zfs stack with an alternate name. "zpool split" must be doing some changes to metadata of device2 to associate with the new name i.e. newpool, I want to do it for the same for snapshot device created using array/hardware snapshot. Thanks & Regards, sridhar. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
