SMB Shadow Copys "Previous Versions"

[oumpa31]

I know were still a ways off from Beta with 21.06, but when they are finally added will they work better than the version on core that only works half the time and sometimes not at all? I

If you have a reproducible issue with shadow copies on Core file a bug report.

It was more of a question if there will be more done with it. I know 12.0 U3 is out but I've seen a lot of people saying they are having issues upgrading to it and with the plan to switch to scale when 21.04 is released I'm not sure I want to upgrade and see if that bug was fixed in the recent update. I can see the pervious versions but if a file was deleted it seams to be deleted from the server completely.

Ah. That was jira issue NAS-109444, which should be fixed in U3, but will be not fixed in SCALE 20.04.

I had a feeling that it was probably fixed in U3. I had been testing it on scale also and i know they are working on a bunch of stuff but from what I've tested so far its looking like it will be everything I'm looking for. Getting PCIE GPU transcoding for Plex on a Threadripper machine Is most definitely a game changer.
Tempted to just stick the Nightly on my main server so I can keep helping work out the bugs.

Okay. Thar be dragons currently with SMB and permissions if you're directly importing it. Hopefully within the next week or so I should get NFSv4 ACL support into the nightlies.

@anodos sounds like I should hold off a few weeks till your able to get that in there and I'll go to the nightlies so I can help with testing for that.

Do note that the reason why I have held off on merging these things until after 21.04 alpha was released is to give it more time to bake before push to general public. Testing and feedback is appreciated, but caveat emptor.

So what your saying is I should probably wait and test it on my old test machine for a while before I move it to my Main TrueNAS server. So its not super buggy at first.
