[SOLVED] How do I mount a zfs snapshot?

dave@bsd · 01-25-2024, 09:02 AM

Hi,

Before I signed up here I research this and nothing I found online worked.

i am using using freebsd 14 in a VM.

i tried

Code:

 zfs mount zroot/home/geek@myhome-snap /mnt

I get an error like I need to use zfs set|get for the property value and

an error of use zfs allow|unallow.

I am doing this as root, BTW.

I also tried

Code:

mount zroot/home/geek@myhome-snap /mnt

Still wouldn't mount.

I appreciate any help on this. Thanks for reading.

You're using zfs mount incorrectly:

I already know this. What I wanted was to mount a zfs snapshot not a zfs dataset.
I appreciate the guide anyway. I like the raid section. It's good good read. I bookmarked the address.

Yes! it work!

I saw this snapdir from my research but the pages I looked at didn't explain how to use it.
