Hello all,
Sorry if you think that question is stupid, but i need to ask..
Imagine a normal situation on a NFS server with "N" client nodes. The
objects of the shares is software (/usr/ for instance), and the admin wants to
make available new versions of a few packages.
So, would be nice if the admin could associate a NFS share and a ZFS snapshot?
I mean, the admin have the option to make a snapshot on that ZFS filesystem,
make the update on the binaries, and just a few machines would see that changes.
I know, there are a lot of ways to do that... but i think that would be nice
(better). That would economize space, and the administration task would be very
easy (ZFS intend to be easy). I think ZFS have solved the "Stale NFS file
Handle" on the "mount point", and all woul be necessary would be
a respawn for precesses already in memory (on migrated clients). So...
What do you think about a feature like that? useful, crazy?
Thanks very much for your time!
