Actually, I already knew that. But at the time of initial send, the latest
snap is most likely a "frequent," which will most likely not exist at a later
time to be the base of the incremental. Which means, during the incremental,
an arbitrary number of the latest snaps on both the sender and receiver
probably need to be ignored. In other words, I can't just use a fixed tail or
awk command... And I can't alphabetic sort...
In shell programming land (unless I want to python or something) I'll have to
nest a for-loop in a for-loop.
export latestmatch=""
export sendersnaps=`ssh otherhost "zfs list -t snapshot | grep $FILESYSTEM" |
sed 's/ .*//'"`
export receiversnaps=`zfs list -t snapshot | grep $FILESYSTEM | sed 's/ .*//'`
for sendersnap in $sendersnaps ; do
for receiversnap in $receiversnaps ; do
if [ "$sendersnap" = "$receiversnap" ] ; then
export latestmatch = $sendersnap
fi
done
done
if [ -z "$latestmatch" ] ; then
echo "No matching snaps, can't send incremental."
# Do a full send, or abort
else
echo "Doing incremental"
ssh otherhost "zfs send -I $latestmatch
... etc etc...
