Hello,
I'm coming from napp-it with openindiana and there is a feature I miss for snapshots automatically created by tasks managed by freenas. The possibility to discard snapshots with size 0 (of course if it's not the last snapshot). There is no good reason for keeping tenths of snap with size 0. A snap with size 0, as you know means there's been no change between it and the next snap. It could remove a lot of poluting lines in the gui or results of the command line.
With this implemented, it opens the door to dynamic time frame for snap keeping. You could say I want to keep the 12 last snap on a this filesystem even if you requested the snap job to create those every 15minutes. Depending on the activity, it could keep between 3 hours and several days.
Hope these0 features come one day in freenas.
PS: hope also but I think it might be on the roadmap that every snap of a filesystem are brought to windows previous version when using cifs shares.
Regards,
Benji
