Hiya All,
Had a quick question before i go and change something. Here's the basic layout.
--/Common (Dataset shared with CIFS)
----/subfolder1
----/subfolder2
----/subfolder3
Situation/Problem: Snapshots are every 60mins and kept for 3months. Which is fine for most of the share but subfolder1 has alot of temp junk going in/out and the snapshots are taking up a fair bit of extra space.
Plan:
Thanks

Plan:
- To rename subfolder1, make a new dataset inside of common called subfolder1.
- Move the existing files from the renamed folder to the new dataset.
- Create a new periodic snapshot for that dataset with the same options but set it to 7days.
- Will this have any effect on how CIFS will see the folder? Will the user just see it as another subfolder or am i going to have problems?
- Will windows inherit permissions still work for acl's from within the new dataset from Common? ie: Common enforced group 'admins' to have full permissions on all files down the chain.
Thanks
