Unless i'm missing something, they didn't solve the "matching snapshots" thing yet, from their site:
"To Do: Additional error handling for mismatched snapshots (last destination snap no longer exists on the source) walk backwards through the remote snaps until a common snapshot is found and destroy non-matching remote snapshots" As more evidence, the script doesn't contain any for loops, and has comments that indicate it just uses the latest snapshot on the target. It also doesn't appear that the script uses "zfs hold" anywhere, so I don't think it will stop the auto-snapshots from disappearing on the source (i'm also not sure how the auto-snap service will respond to a failure to destroy a held snapshot, i've had it go into maintenance mode on me for just changing the timezone). Why are you trying to solve this harder problem, rather than using your own snapshots that the auto-snapshot service won't destroy? If you make a snapshot that doesn't start with zfs-auto-snap, then use it (them) as the endpoint(s) for the transfer, adding holds if desired, this entire mess of matching snapshots that may or may not still exist just goes away.
