zfs-windows-2.2.6-rc8

[lundman]

Feels good to fix that import BSOD finally.

Right, let me know what to work on next?

[guenther-alka]

rc8

• Does this affects the BSOD problem with Aomei

wishlist

• zfs send over netcat that terminates after replication
• access to snaps ex in z:\tank\data.zfs\snapshot\2 still not working (snap2 empty when creating a file, then snap2, then delete file)
  an older snapshot 1: Windows 11 Explorer hangs when I try to open snap 1
• ZFS snaps via Windows previous versions?

[lundman]

I could load Aomei, and even force ZFS ZVOL on, but alas, the reading of Registry happens too late in rc8 so that needs to be fixed.

zfs send over netcat that terminates after replication

Yeah but since cat | netcat it isn't for us/ZFS to fix, it needs netcat to fix. Since ncat and netcat can talk to each other, just alias netcat ncat on Windows sending :) (okok, you need a shell wrapper to add --send-only)

access to snaps ex

I'll check it again. If you have steps to do to make it happen might help. It certainly was working

ZFS snaps via Windows previous versions

Yeah be fun to look into. But first is stability.

Keep 'em coming

[lundman]

Ah mounting one snapshot was fine, the second snapshot mounted did not work well. So let's say it's a feature, one snapshot at a time!

[guenther-alka]

It seems when more than one snap is in the .zfs/snapshot folder, you can only open the last one in Explorer and this one is always empty.

[guenther-alka]

thanks!

yes, indeed, stability first
hope that snapfolder access from Explorer can work

btw
network replication terminates correctly with nc64 and the following settings

Do not forget to use cmd as pipes have problems in Powershell
In powershell start pipe commands like:

the snapshot problem seems more serious

When I import the pool:
Explorer mounts a driveletter ex L: that shows current filesystems but also older ones that were deleted

When I try to open a snap in .zfs/snapshot (beside last one) Explorer hangs
Last one is empty but should not..

When I try to export the pool to solve the problem, ZFS seems to hang, then I get a BSOD (openzfs.sys)

OK had a busy loop when trying to list more than 1 snapshot.
