zfs discuss - Aug 2009 - data disappear

Hi,

I have installed open solaris, build 111. I also added some packages from
www.sunfreeware.com to my system and other tools (compiled by me) to /opt.
Problem is, that all new data (added by me) after some days get lost. Disk looks
like (for example) packages from sunfreeware was never installed on my system.
I think that there is something with snapshots, but I don?t know what.

regards,

Did you happen to perform a "pkg image-update", then install
sunfreeware packages, then reboot?  Sounds like a zfs boot environment change to
me.

Bingo!
After several updates I have many boot environments.

Thanks.
