This version has the - following features: - - 1) you don't need to populate your shares with symlinks to the - snapshots. This can be very important when you have thousands of - shares, or use [homes] - - 2) the inode number of the files is altered so it is different - from the original. This allows the 'restore' button to work - without a sharing violation - - 3) shadow copy results can be sorted before being sent to the - client. This is beneficial for filesystems that don't read - directories alphabetically (the default unix). - - 4) vanity naming for snapshots. Snapshots can be named in any - format compatible with str[fp]time conversions. - - 5) time stamps in snapshot names can be represented in localtime - rather than UTC. - - Module options: - - shadow:snapdir = <directory where snapshots are kept> - - This is the directory containing the @GMT-* snapshot directories. If it is an absolute - path it is used as-is. If it is a relative path, then it is taken relative to the mount - point of the filesystem that the root of this share is on - - shadow:basedir = <base directory that snapshots are from> - - This is an optional parameter that specifies the directory that - the snapshots are relative to. It defaults to the filesystem - mount point - - shadow:fixinodes = yes/no - - If you enable shadow:fixinodes then this module will modify the - apparent inode number of files in the snapshot directories using - a hash of the files path. This is needed for snapshot systems - where the snapshots have the same device:inode number as the - original files (such as happens with GPFS snapshots). If you - don't set this option then the 'restore' button in the shadow - copy UI will fail with a sharing violation. - - shadow:sort = asc/desc, or not specified for unsorted (default) - - This is an optional parameter that specifies that the shadow - copy directories should be sorted before sending them to the - client. This can be beneficial as unix filesystems are usually - not listed alphabetically sorted. If enabled, you typically - want to specify descending order. - - shadow:format = <format specification for snapshot names> - - This is an optional parameter that specifies the format - specification for the naming of snapshots. The format must - be compatible with the conversion specifications recognized - by str[fp]time. The default value is "@GMT-%Y.%m.%d-%H.%M.%S". - - shadow:sscanf = yes/no (default is no) - - The time is the unsigned long integer (%lu) in the format string - rather than a time strptime() can parse. The result must be a unix time_t - time. - - shadow:localtime = yes/no (default is no) - - This is an optional parameter that indicates whether the - snapshot names are in UTC/GMT or the local time. - - - The following command would generate a correctly formatted directory name - for use with the default parameters: - date -u +@GMT-%Y.%m.%d-%H.%M.%S + * This is a second implemetation of a shadow copy module for exposing + * file system snapshots to windows clients as shadow copies. + * + * See the manual page for documentation. */ #include "includes.h" |
