samba - Jan 2014 - vfs_shadow_copy2 with different snapshot format

Hi all,

Does anyone have vfs_shadow_copy2 working with an alternate snapshot
directory format? My snapshots look like this :

drwxr-xr-x 55 root root 32768 Jan 10 12:37 20140113_12:00
drwxr-xr-x 55 root root 32768 Jan 10 12:37 20140114_12:00
drwxr-xr-x 55 root root 32768 Jan 10 12:37 20140115_12:00
drwxr-xr-x 55 root root 32768 Jan 10 12:37 20140116_12:00
drwxr-xr-x 55 root root 32768 Jan 10 12:37 20140117_12:00

we have this in smb.conf :

vfs objects = shadow_copy2 gpfs acl_xattr fileid
shadow:snapdir = .snapshots
shadow:localtime = yes
shadow:format = "%Y%m%d_%H:%M"
shadow:fixinodes = yes
shadow:snapdirseverywhere = yes
shadow:sort = desc

..however going into the previous versions tab in the explorer properties
dialog for a directory always shows that no previous versions are available.

Thanks,
Sabuj

I would say you need to drop the quotes around format.

I used this..
   vfs objects = shadow_copy2
   shadow:snapdir = .zfs/snapshot
   shadow:format = auto_%Y-%m-%d_%H.%M
   shadow:sort = desc

on FreeBSD 9.2 with ZFS, it seems to work very well so far.

I think I tried that but it didn't work, will try again.
