[Samba] Access to ShadowCopy snapshots from linux-side
Hi, I have samba fs server with zfs and shadow_copy2. Windows clients can see previouse version via File Explorer. Thay have not any problems, all works fine. But linux client have a problem. I dont know any GUI file explorers with accessing shadow copy feature (thunar, caja, dolphin, ...) May be CLI tools? smbinfo list-snapshots it's right way? smbinfo list-snapshots \\server\share ? smbinfo list-snapshots smb:\\server\share ? Not working anything.. -- *Anton*

[Samba] Access to ShadowCopy snapshots from linux-side
Hi Anton, You can try to access snapshot directories directly. If \\server\share points to a ZFS filesystem you will have snapshots inside \\server\share\.zfs\snapshot , one directory per snapshot. In my case this works, server is Truenas. Permissions are the same as at that time when the snapshot was created. regards, Norbert On 1/23/2025 1:16 PM, Anton Shevtsov via samba wrote:> Hi, > > I have samba fs server with zfs and shadow_copy2. > > Windows clients can see previouse version via File Explorer.
