Odd recursive behaviour #343

Closed monkiki closed 6 years ago

monkiki commented 6 years ago

Hello, I've just started using ZnapZend and I'm not sure it this is the expected behaviour when using the recursive=on parameter. For example, I've these datasets:

If the src configuration is "zfs-pool/container" and recursive is on these are the snapshots created in the destination server:

I absolutely understant these snapshots:

But I don't know the meaning of this one because the data is in the children datasets not in the parent one:

Does it make sense? Do I really need a snapshot of the parent dataset?

well that is how recursive snapshots in zfs work ... unless you want to change zfs, there is not much you can do about it ...
