Thanks to everybody that replied. Having NetWorker support for ZFS will remove a major stumbling block to adoption of ZFS.

Or do I have to set zfs set mountpoint=legacy zfs/file/system and use ''good ole'' /etc/vfstab? Daniel

Darren Dunham wrote:> I meant, rather than taring it up, can you just pass the snapshot mount > point to Networker as a saveset?Yup, in my brief testing, I was able to backup a snapdir using Networker. Pointing Networker at a ZFS mountpoint with the snapdir shown ( .zfs, at the top level directory ) caused only the filesystem to be backed up, not the contents of the snapdir. One disclaimer to disclaim here, is that my main focus on this work was to get some quick sanity checks with ZFS, particularly looking at ZFS''s stability and investigating how the apps handled our new ACLs - for the most part I wasn''t testing the 3rd party apps themselves in depth. Regarding the question of zfs mountpoints, using the term ''automount'' is probably liable to get some folks who deal with autofs a bit confused. I think you mean "zfs managing it''s own mountpoints" here, in which case, no I didn''t run into any problems, but see the disclaimer above. Does Networker traditionally scan /etc/vfstab in any way ? If it doesn''t then I''m guessing you shouldn''t have any problems. cheers, tim -- Tim Foster, Sun Microsystems Inc, Operating Platforms Group Engineering Operations http://blogs.sun.com/timf

What happens is networker issues the acl(2) syscall with the parameters to retrieve POSIX draft ACLs, and ZFS returns ENOSYS since it doesn''t support POSIX draft ACLs. As soon as networker gets an ENOSYS from acl(2) it aborts. With the patch networker issues the correct syscalls and is able to save/restore ACLs correctly. -Mark

I''ve been backing up ZFS with NetBackup 5.1 without issue. I won''t say it does everything, but I am able to backup and restore individual files.

Gregory,> I''ve been backing up ZFS with NetBackup 5.1 without issue. I won''t > say it does everything, but I am able to backup and restore > individual files.I know: we''re actually using 4.5 at the moment ;-) My question was specificialy about ACL support. I think the ZFS Admin Guide mentions two CRs for this, one for Legato and another for NetBackup.
