Some periodic snapshots not happening

[Abdullah AL Zayadi]

Well, I have a freenas server in my office environment, and each employ have his own dataset also there is a public folder, and there is the Con General and Con Final folders.
I have set a periodic snapshot for every folder all of them a running fine except Con General and Con Final...
and its been puzzling me I'm taking a snapshot manually every night, and its fine. but the auto job is not working.
So can someone help? or at least show me where to get the logs so I can read them maybe I will figure it out something.
Thanks.

IIRC there's a bug on snapshots with datasets with spaces in the name, you can try search for it to see if there's a solution ;)

Edit: I found this thread after a quick search.

OK So I found the fix
you need to stop CIFS service
Go to Shell
Execute this command for every data set that has spaces

Code:

zfs rename "backup/Con General" backup/ConGeneral

As backup is the pool name and Con General is the dataset name.
Then delete what ever Periodic Snapshots Tasks you made and recreate it with the new name.
Go to Windows CIFS shares edit your shares path with the new name, you don't have rename the share itself.
Now enable CIFS again. ;)
