On a recent update to 208, I'm trying to understand creation and
destruction of snapshots.
I attempted to create a few trying to get the syntax right and ended
up with this:
root # beadm list -a
BE/Dataset/Snapshot Active Mountpoint Space Policy Created
------------------- ------ ---------- ----- ------ -------
opensolaris
rpool/ROOT/opensolaris - - 315.61M static 2009-03-01 12:33
opensolaris-1
rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-1 NR / 4.65G static 2009-03-01 22:58
rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-1 at 030309_103134 - - 31.0K static 2009-03-03 10:31
rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-1 at 2009-03-02-04:58:16 - - 168.70M static 2009-03-01 22:58
rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-1 at install - - 127.11M static 2009-03-01 12:55
rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-1 at now - - 30.0K static 2009-03-03 10:23
rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-1 at w_emacs_smbs_smbskr - - 31.0K static 2009-03-03 10:33
First, as you can see, everthing on Mar 3 shows 30 or 31 K. That
cannot be right for a snapshot (can it?)
What should I expect in a snapshot size wise?
Further, trying to destroy them fails:
root # beadm destroy rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-1 at w_emacs_smbs_smbskr
The BE name provided is invalid.
Please check it and try again.
My attempt looks like others I've seen searching google. But maybe it
wants a plainer BE name.
root # beadm destroy opensolaris-1 at w_emacs_smbs_smbskr
The BE name provided is invalid.
Please check it and try again.
Nope that wasn't it either.
So is my syntax just wrong or is something going wrong here?
