similar to: send only difference between snapshots

Hello, I have a situation where a zfs file server holding lots of graphic files cannot be backed up daily with a full backup. My idea was initially to run a full backup on Sunday through the lto library on more dedicated tapes, then have an incremental backup run on daily tapes. Brainstorming on this, led me to the idea that I could actually stop thinking about incremental backups (that may always

Hi everyone, Is there an easy way to find out which files has changed between two snapshots? Currently I''m doing a # rsync -arvn <snapshot1> <snapshot2> and it creates a list. But rsync needs to go through the whole filesystem and compare files. It would be nice if zfs would have this option builtin. Regards, Nickus

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, i have two systems, A (Solaris 10 update 5) and B (Solaris 10 update 6). i''m using ''zfs send -i'' to replicate changes on A to B. however, the ''zfs recv'' on B is running extremely slowly. if i run the zfs send on A and redirect output to a file, it sends at 2MB/sec. but when i use ''zfs send

My full backup script errorred out the last two times I ran it. I''ve got a full Bash trace of it, so I know exactly what was done. There are a moderate number of snapshots on the zp1 pool, and I''m intending to replicate the whole thing into the backup pool. After housekeeping, I take make a current snapshot on the data pool (zp1). Since this is a new full backup, I then

Hi, How I can I quiesce / freeze all writes to zfs and zpool if want to take hardware level snapshots or array snapshot of all devices under a pool ? are there any commands or ioctls or apis available ? Thanks & Regards, sridhar. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hey list, I wonder if it is possible to deduplicate read-only snapshots. Background: I''m using an bash/rsync script[1] to backup my whole system on a nightly basis to an attached USB3 drive into a scratch area, then take a snapshot of this area. I''d like to have these snapshots immutable, so they should be read-only. Since rsync won''t discover moved files but

My zfs filesystem hangs when transferring large filesystems (>500GB) with a couple dozen snapshots between servers using zfs send/receive with netcat. The transfer hangs about halfway through and is unkillable, freezing all IO to the filesystem, requiring a hard reboot. I have attempted this three times and failed every time. On the destination server I use: nc -l -p 8023 | zfs receive -vd sas

Howdy folks. I''ve a customer looking to use ZFS in a DR situation. They have a large data store where they will be taking snapshots every N minutes or so, sending the difference of the snapshot and previous snapshot with zfs send -i to a remote host, and in case of DR firing up the secondary. However, I''ve seen a few references to the speed of zfs send being, well, a bit

We have finished a beta version of the feature. A webrev for it can be found here: http://cr.illumos.org/~webrev/sensille/fits-send/ It adds a command ''zfs fits-send''. The resulting streams can currently only be received on btrfs, but more receivers will follow. It would be great if anyone interested could give it some testing and/or review. If there are no objections,

Hi all, I''ve just pushed some of the changes coming up in 0.11 hg clone ssh://anon at hg.opensolaris.org/hg/jds/zfs-snapshot I''ve got some commentary on the Early Access nature of this release at: http://blogs.sun.com/timf/entry/zfs_automatic_snapshots_0_11 Comments (and bug reports) welcome! cheers, tim

This may be a bit poorly thought through but in this case I don''t really know enough to really think it through. My back ground is linux... there I used a tool called rsnapshot which used rsync and some hardlink magic to create versioned backups. But take very little space. By versioned I don''t mean as in version control but just copies of files as they change. It worked by

All, I assume this issue is pretty old given the time ZFS has been around. I have tried searching the list but could not get understand the structure of how ZFS actually takes snapshot space into account. I have a user walter on whom I try to do the following ZFS operations bash-3.00# zfs get quota store/catB/home/walter NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE

Hello, I have a ZFS filesystem (zpool version 26 on Nexenta CP 3.01) which I''d like to rollback but it''s having an existential crisis. Here''s what I see: root at bambi:/# zfs rollback bambi/faline/userdocs at AutoD-2010-09-28 cannot rollback to ''bambi/faline/userdocs at AutoD-2010-09-28'': more recent snapshots exist use ''-r'' to

In the last few days my performance has gone to hell. I''m running: # uname -a SunOS nissan 5.11 snv_150 i86pc i386 i86pc (I''ll upgrade as soon as the desktop hang bug is fixed.) The performance problems seem to be due to excessive I/O on the main disk/pool. The only things I''ve changed recently is that I''ve created and destroyed a snapshot, and I used

Hi there I'm having some troubles with Shadow Copy2 & zfs Snapshots. I have hourly and daily snapshots. If I use the following settings it works (but omits daily snapshots): vfs objects = shadow_copy2 shadow:snapdir = .zfs/snapshot shadow:sort = desc shadow:localtime = yes shadow:format = easysnap-hourly_%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-UTC However when I try to use the BRE with the prefix,

Hi Everyone, I perform a snapshot and a zfs send on a filesystem with a recordsize of 16k, and redirect the output to a plain file. Later, I use cat sentfs | zfs receive otherpool/filesystem. In this case the new filesystem''s recordsize will be the default 128k again. The other filesystem attributes (for example atime) are reverted to defaults too. Okay, I can set these later,

I have many core files stuck in snapshots eating up gigs of my disk space. Most of these are BE''s which I don''t really want to delete right now. Is there a way to get rid of them? I know snapshots are RO but can I do some magic with clones and reclaim my space? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Assuming in a secure and trusted env, we want to get the maximum transfer speed without the overhead from ssh. Thanks. Fred -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I had some trouble installing a zone on ZFS with S10u4 (bug in the postgres packages) that went away when I used a ZVOL-backed UFS filesystem for the zonepath. I thought I''d push on with the experiment (in the hope Live Upgrade would be able to upgrade such a zone). It''s a bit unwieldy, but everything worked reasonably well - performance isn''t much worse than straight
