Windows 'Previous Versions' shows duplicates with identical date/time

[seanm]

I updated to 11.3 the other day and am trying the Window 'Previous Versions' feature for the first time. I successfully restored a file to an older version, so that's good.

But one thing is strange: the Previous Versions tab shows duplicate entries with the exact same date & time. That doesn't seem normal to me. Anyone else this?

Thanks.

Labels for previous versions are just timestamps with 1sec resolution, and Windows explorer is only showing 1min resolution. Is it possible that you just have multiple snapshot tasks that are all getting exposed (with some tasks falling within the same 1min window)?

Did you set the auxiliary parameter to show empty snapshots? If so, remove it. Default behavior is to take the snapshot list and first reduce it to ones that have >0 used.

You can compare results via the zfs command (something like this):

Code:

root@dbgtest:/usr/ports/net/samba410 # zfs list -o creation,name -t snap | grep zshare
Wed Jan 15 10:35 2020  zroot/zshare@t1
Wed Jan 15 10:38 2020  zroot/zshare@t2
Wed Jan 15 10:40 2020  zroot/zshare@t3

If you spot a serious inconsistency, PM me a debug and I'll get it fixed.
