To improve the performance of scripts that manipulate zfs snapshots and the zfs snapshot service in perticular there needs to be a way to list all the snapshots for a given object and only the snapshots for that object. There are two RFEs filed that cover this: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6352014 : ''zfs list'' should have an option to only present direct descendents http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6762432 zfs list --depth The first is asking for a way to list only the direct descendents of a data set, ie it''s children. The second asks to be able to list all the data sets down to a depth of N. So zfs list --depth 0 would be almost the same as zfs list -c except that it would also list the parent data set. While zfs list -c is more user friendly zfs list -depth is more powerful. I''m wondering if both should be fixed or just one and if just one which? Comments? --chris -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

But it would also be good to add as few new options to zfs list as possible. So it probably makes sense to add at most one of these new options. Or perhaps add an optional depth argument to the -r option instead? As you point out, the -c option is user friendly while the -depth (or maybe -d) option is more general. There have been several requests for the -c option. Would anyone prefer the -depth option? In what cases would this be used? -- Rich

In what cases > would this be used?I''d have a few more proposals how to improve zfs list if they don''t contravene the concept of zfs list command. Currently zfs list returns error "operation not applicable to datasets of this type" if you try to list for ex.: "zfs list -t snapshot file/system" returns above error while it could return what you actually asked - the list of all snapshots of "file/system". Similar case is if you try "zfs list file/system at snapshot" - can zfs be more smart to return the snapshot instead of error message if dataset name contains "@" in its name? Other thing is zfs list performance... even if you want to get the list of snapshots with no other properties "zfs list -oname -t snapshot -r file/system" it still takes quite long time if there are hundreds of snapshots, while "ls /file/system/.zfs/snapshot" returns immediately. Can this also be improved somehow please? Thanks Mike

In what cases > would this be used?I was thinking when I logged the bug, that -depth (or -d) would be useful in cases where you''ve got a "jurassic-like" filesystem layout, and are interested in seeing just one or two levels. zfs list -d 3 tank tank/home tank/home/Ireland tank/home/UK tank/home/France tank/home/Germany tank/foo tank/foo/bar allowing you to look at just the level of hierarchy that you''re interested in (eg. "How much disk space are users from different countries taking up taking up?"), without needing to grep, or hardcode a list of datasets somewhere. More importantly, with hopefully faster performance than showing all children of tank/home just to get the size of the immediate children. It''s particularly important for snapshots - as the number of snapshots grows, zfs list without limits like this can take a long time (even with the massive zfs list performance improvements :-) [ hacks around listing the contents of .zfs/snapshots/ only work when filesystems are mounted unfortunately, so I''d been avoiding doing that in the zfs-auto-snapshot code ] cheers, tim

So to get the list of all snapshots of file/system: zfs list -r -t snapshot file/system In this particular case, it might be possible for zfs list to infer that the -r option was intended.> Similar case is if > you try "zfs list file/system at snapshot" - can zfs be more smart to > return the snapshot instead of error message if dataset name contains > "@" in its name?zfs list already handles this case correctly. If you are getting an error message then you are probably hitting CR 6758338 which is fixed in SNV_106.> Other thing is zfs list performance... even if you want to get the list > of snapshots with no other properties "zfs list -oname -t snapshot -r > file/system" it still takes quite long time if there are hundreds of > snapshots, while "ls /file/system/.zfs/snapshot" returns immediately. > Can this also be improved somehow please?The fix for CR 6755389 (also in SNV_106) should significantly improve the performance of zfs list when there are hundreds or thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of datasets and/or snapshots. -- Rich

And they would both improve zfs list performance by eliminating unnecessary recursion. So adding one of these options probably makes sense. But which one? Is the added complexity of the -d option over the -c option justified? In the above example, wouldn''t the question "how much disk space per country" also be answered by zfs list -c /tank/home? Perhaps a layout like this might be a better argument for the -d option? tank/america/Canada tank/america/Mexico tank/america/USA tank/europe/France tank/europe/Germany tank/europe/Ireland But how often would the -d option be provided a value other than 1 or 2? As a point of reference, the ls command also has this issue and does not provide an option to limit the depth of recursion. And ls has no shortage of options (aAbcCdeEfFghHilLmnopqrRstuvVx1@)! Of course, this does not necessarily mean that the -d option would not be useful for zfs list. Other opinions? -- Rich -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I would also suggest that 2 is a more logical number than 3 for the last set listed if -c is given an argument, since I would think of -c as "dataset and children", and -c 2 as "dataset and children squared": grandchildren, as compared to "datasets of depth 3". I do think having the more general form available is a good thing to have. Will

I was thinking when I logged the bug, that -depth (or -d) would be
useful in cases where you''ve got a "jurassic-like" filesystem
layout,
and are interested in seeing just one or two levels.
zfs list -d 3 tank
tank/home
tank/home/Ireland
tank/home/UK
tank/home/France
tank/home/Germany
tank/foo
tank/foo/bar
allowing you to look at just the level of hierarchy that you''re
interested in (eg. "How much disk space are users from different
countries taking up taking up?"), without needing to grep, or hardcode
a list of datasets somewhere.
More importantly, with hopefully faster performance than showing
all children of tank/home just to get the size of the immediate children.
Hi Tim,
Both the -c and -d options would eliminate the need to grep or hardcode
a list of datasets. And they would both improve zfs list performance by
eliminating unnecessary recursion. So adding one of these options probably
makes sense. But which one? Is the added complexity of the -d option over
the -c option justified? In the above example, wouldn''t the question
"how
much disk space per country" also be answered by zfs list -c /tank/home?
Perhaps a layout like this might be a better argument for the -d option?
tank/america/Canada
tank/america/Mexico
tank/america/USA
tank/europe/France
tank/europe/Germany
tank/europe/Ireland
But how often would the -d option be provided a value other than 1 or 2?
As a point of reference, the ls command also has this issue and does not
provide an option to limit the depth of recursion. And ls has no shortage
of options (aAbcCdeEfFghHilLmnopqrRstuvVx1@)! Of course, this does not
necessarily mean that the -d option would not be useful for zfs list.
Other opinions?

Can I ask why we need to use -c or -d at all? We already have -r to recursively list children, can''t we add an optional depth parameter to that? You then have: zfs list : shows current level (essentially -r 0) zfs list -r : shows all levels (infinite recursion) zfs list -r 2 : shows 2 levels of children -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

And its probably good to keep the zfs subcommand option syntax consistent. On the other hand, if all of the zfs subcommands were modified to accept an optional depth argument to -r, then this would not be an issue. But, for example, the top level(s) of datasets cannot be destroyed if that would leave orphaned datasets. BTW, when no dataset is specified, zfs list is the same as zfs list -r (infinite recursion). When a dataset is specified then it shows only the current level. Does anyone have any non-theoretical situations where a depth option other than 1 or 2 would be used? Are scripts being used to work around this problem? -- Rich
Hmm... that''s a tough one. To me, it''s a trade off either way, using a -r parameter to specify the depth for zfs list feels more intuitive than adding extra commands to modify the -r behaviour, but I can see your point. But then, using -c or -d means there''s an optional parameter for zfs list that you don''t have in the other commands anyway. And would you have to use -c or -d with -r, or would they work on their own, providing two ways to achieve very similar functionality. Also, now you''ve mentioned that you want to keep things consistent among all the commands, keeping -c and -d free becomes more important to me. You don''t know if you might want to use these for another command later on. It sounds to me that whichever way you implement it there''s going to be some potential for confusion, but personally I''d stick with using -r. It leaves you with a single syntax for viewing children. The -r on the other commands can be modified to give an error message if they don''t support this extra parameter, and it leaves both -c and -d free to use later on.

My current solution is a -d option that takes a colon set of aruments min:max giving the minimum and maximum depth so zfs list -d 1:1 tank behaves like zfs list -c is described and only lists the direct children of tank. zfs list -d 1: tank Will list all the descendants of tank zfs list -d :1 tank lists tank and it''s direct children I would propose that zfs list -d 1 tank be short hand for "zfs list -d :1 tank". This seems to give all the functionality and a bit more of both options with out adding two flags. --chris -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
