I tried sanoid, but it has a few problems which really become annoying when you have a lot of datasets: |
| 9 |
1) every dataset is handled seperately, no use of recursive snapshots when datasets are inside the same tree |
| 10 |
2) it keeps seperate hourly, daily,.... snapshots, which means it will happily create multiple snapshots with only a few seconds difference for every dataset around midnight. |
| 11 |
3) when rolling back several snapshots, there are multiple errors reported because the cache (where does it store that?) does not match reality. |

Have these been resolved yet? |

I ended up writing my own system for this, got some extra intelligence in there to work around any possible error condition I have encountered. |
