After looking at this page I have one question. When I donwload the .gz file and unzip it there is no package included, it appears that you have to compile your own. How do I do this? Apparently, once I''ve compiled the package all I have to do is "pkgadd TIMFauto-snapshot", is there a reason why the package just isn''t included in the release? I assume I have to run "make" or something similar to package and install this service. Any help would be appreciated. http://blogs.sun.com/timf/entry/zfs_automatic_snapshots_0_10 This message posted from opensolaris.org

Once you add the package, the postinstall (yuck) script adds some canned instances and you can get started. Guess I should have put the build package in "packages" instead :-) cheers, tim
The resolution to this is to cd into the proto directory and then run the following command... pkgadd -d . TIMFauto-snapshot The "-d ." option tells pkgadd to look in the current directory instead of the default location /var/spool/pkg This message posted from opensolaris.org
