zfs discuss - Jun 2009 - ZFS snapshots ignore everything in /export/....

When I take a snapshot of my rpool, (of which /export/... is a part of), ZFS
ignores all the data in it and doesn''t take any snapshots...

How do I make it include /export in my snapshots?

BTW, I''m running on Solaris 10 Update 6 (Or whatever is the first
update to allow for root pools...)

Thanks.

Hi Krenz,

Can you provide your zfs list output and your snapshot syntax?

See the output below from my Solaris 10 5/09 system. Snapshot
syntax and behavior should similar to the Solaris 10 10/08
release.

When you take a snapshot of the root pool you must use the
-r option to recursively snapshot descendent datasets.

Thanks,

Cindy

So are you doing the following?

# zfs snapshot -r rpool at today

If so, what is the output then of `zfs list` ?
