zfs discuss - Jan 2009 - Verbose Information from "zfs send -v <snapshot>"

What ''verbose information'' is reported by the "zfs send
-v <snapshot>" contain?

Also on Solaris 10u6 I don''t get any output at all - is this a bug?

Regards,

Nick

Anyway I assume that my original post was unclear, so I''ll try an
correct that.

When I use the command ''zfs send -v snapshot-name'' I expect to
see as the manpage states, some "verbose information" printed to
stderr (probably) but I don''t see anything on either Solaris 10u6 or
OpenSolaris 2008.11. I am doing something wrong here?

Also what should be the contents of this "verbose information" anyway?

Nick

Nick,

    Specifying -v to zfs send doesn''t result in much extra  
information, and only in
certain cases.  For example, if you do an incremental send, you''ll get
this piece
of extra output:

# zfs send -v -I tank at snap1 tank at snap2 >/tmp/x
sending from @snap1 to tank at snap2
#

zfs recv -v is a bit more chatty, but again, only in certain cases.

Output from zfs send -v goes to stderr; output from zfs recv -v goes  
to stdout.

You should ignore "JZ", he seems to just be trolling the list.
