SOLVED "Enable shadow copies" after 11.2-U7 to 11.3 upgrade

[seanm]

The 11.3 release notes say:

"Existing SMB shares are migrated to use a new libzfs-based shadow copy module. By default, all new SMB shares will have shadow copies enabled. ZFS snapshots will be visible through “previous versions” in File Explorer. To disable this behavior, uncheck the Enable Shadow Copies checkbox for the SMB share."

After upgrading from 11.2-U7 to 11.3, I see that some, but not all, of my shares now have "Enable shadow copies" on.

It seems to have been turned on for most shares, except those that:
- have the Time Machine option on
- are not on my main pool

Is this correct or a bug?

Thanks.

The migration for the checkbox depends on whether a snapshot task was selected in 11.2. If one was selected for a share, then the checkbox is set to 'enabled' otherwise it's not. The new default applies to newly-created shares.

Ah, makes sense, thanks.
