Goal

When working with snapshots for NDMP, the user may wish to manipulate the snapshots to be listed or excluded.

A customer asked the following questions

Q1 - After changing .zfs/snapshot visibility to hidden, does the customer have to remount the file systems?

Q2 - Can I know how to exclude .zfs/snapshot from find command?

The answers may help other customers.

Solution

Q1 - After changing .zfs/snapshot visibility to hidden, does the customer have to remount the file systems?

Answer: Yes you do need to remount them.

Q2 - Can I know how to exclude .zfs/snapshot from find command? ( on a client attached to the NAS )

Answer: Some variant of the -prune option for find will help here

find . -name . <name or xters to be pruned> -prune -o -print

Of course, if you are using some version of Linux on your clients that does not have "-prune", then you may have the "-not " option, then

find . -not \( -name "*.xters " -o -name ".*,xters" \) '{}' \; -print
