I am adding the zfs snapshot functionality to the current gluster snapshot code to support both the LVM and ZFS snapshots and glusterfs based on the file system type ( zfs or non-zfs) will take the appropriate snapshot. And I am working on gluster 3.6 code and should be complete in a week or two. - Prakash On Wed, Nov 26, 2014 at 10:26 AM, Rajesh Joseph <rjoseph at redhat.com> wrote:> > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Jason M.

I am just checking in on Gluster snapshotting ontop of ZFS. Do you need any body to test it out? Thanks!
