I've been taking a look at the manpage and it does specify the snapshots go to the directory specified only upon 'hammer cleanup'. But there is no mention to the snapshot dir for normal 'hammer snap' calls.<br>
If we force the snapshots' symlinks to always go to the directory specified then somebody could complain that they are not created in the current directory and instead they go to the snapshots directory.<br>
<br>
In any case this is the expected behavior in the current implementation but *I* think it would be better if they went to the snapshots directory unless another directory is specified, but for this we'd have to add the code to handle it.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I have currently configured a PFS with status as given below.<br>
<br>
/Backup3/vms-lxc PFS #1 {<br>
sync-beg-tid=<u></u>0x0000000000000001<br>
sync-end-tid=<u></u>0x0000000121e5d400<br>
shared-uuid=3df3d26e-8552-<u></u>11e4-8192-4587fc6b58f4<br>
unique-uuid=3df3d298-8552-<u></u>11e4-8192-4587fc6b58f4<br>
label=""<br>
*snapshots="/Backup4/pfs-<u></u>snapshots/vms-lxc"*<br>
prune-min=00:00:00<br>
operating as a MASTER<br>
}<br>
<br>
As can be seen the the snapshot directory is configured to another disk.<br>
However the snapshots are being taken in the pfs itself.<br>
<br>

<br>
As a side note the snapshots are taken via *crontab *instead of using the<br>
default settings.<br>
<br>
<br>
30 14 * * * hammer snap /Backup3/vms-lxc "rsync"<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I can see that there is hammer snapshot where I can specify the behaviour,<br>
however shouldn't the above command take a backup to<br>
<br>
