The filesystems category houses file systems and file system utilities. It is added mainly to turn the sysutils/fusefs-* pseudo-category into a proper one, but is also useful for the sundry of other file systems related ports found in the tree. Ports that seem like they belong there are moved to the new category. Two ports, sysutils/fusefs-funionfs and sysutils/fusefs-fusepak are not moved as they currently don't fetch and don't have TIMESTAMP set in their distinfo, but that is required to be able to push a rename of the port by the pre-receive hook.

zfsnap makes rolling ZFS snapshots easy and - with cron - automatic.
|
|
|
|
The main advantages of zfsnap are its portability, simplicity, and performance.
|
|
It is written purely in /bin/sh and does not require any additional software -
|
|
other than a few core *nix utilies.
|
|
|
|
zfsnap stores all the information it needs about a snapshot directly in its
|
|
name; no database or special ZFS properties are needed. The information is
|
|
stored in a way that is human readable, making it much easier for a sysadmin to
|
|
manage and audit backup schedules.
|
|
|
|
Snapshot names are in the format of pool/fs@[prefix]Timestamp--TimeToLive
|
|
(e.g. pool/fs@weekly-2014-04-07_05.30.00--6m). The prefix is optional but can
|
|
be quite useful for filtering, Timestamp is the date and time when the snapshot
|
|
was created, and TimeToLive (TTL) is the amount of time the snapshot will be
|
|
kept until it can be deleted.
