/*
-
- This is a 3rd implemetation of a shadow copy module for exposing
- snapshots to windows clients as shadow copies. This version has the
- following features:
-
- 1) you don't need to populate your shares with symlinks to the
- snapshots. This can be very important when you have thousands of
- shares, or use [homes]
-
- 2) the inode number of the files is altered so it is different
- from the original. This allows the 'restore' button to work
- without a sharing violation
-
- 3) shadow copy results can be sorted before being sent to the
- client. This is beneficial for filesystems that don't read
- directories alphabetically (the default unix).
-
- 4) vanity naming for snapshots. Snapshots can be named in any
- format compatible with str[fp]time conversions.
-
- 5) time stamps in snapshot names can be represented in localtime
- rather than UTC.
-
- Module options:
-
- shadow:snapdir = <directory where snapshots are kept>
-
- This is the directory containing the @GMT-* snapshot directories. If it is an absolute
- path it is used as-is. If it is a relative path, then it is taken relative to the mount
- point of the filesystem that the root of this share is on
-
- shadow:basedir = <base directory that snapshots are from>
-
- This is an optional parameter that specifies the directory that
- the snapshots are relative to. It defaults to the filesystem
- mount point
-
- shadow:fixinodes = yes/no
-
- If you enable shadow:fixinodes then this module will modify the
- apparent inode number of files in the snapshot directories using
- a hash of the files path. This is needed for snapshot systems
- where the snapshots have the same device:inode number as the
- original files (such as happens with GPFS snapshots). If you
- don't set this option then the 'restore' button in the shadow
- copy UI will fail with a sharing violation.
-
- shadow:sort = asc/desc, or not specified for unsorted (default)
-
- This is an optional parameter that specifies that the shadow
- copy directories should be sorted before sending them to the
- client. This can be beneficial as unix filesystems are usually
- not listed alphabetically sorted. If enabled, you typically
- want to specify descending order.
-
- shadow:format = <format specification for snapshot names>
-
- This is an optional parameter that specifies the format
- specification for the naming of snapshots. The format must
- be compatible with the conversion specifications recognized
- by str[fp]time. The default value is "@GMT-%Y.%m.%d-%H.%M.%S".
-
- shadow:sscanf = yes/no (default is no)
-
- The time is the unsigned long integer (%lu) in the format string
- rather than a time strptime() can parse. The result must be a unix time_t
- time.
-
- shadow:localtime = yes/no (default is no)
-
- This is an optional parameter that indicates whether the
- snapshot names are in UTC/GMT or the local time.
-
-
- The following command would generate a correctly formatted directory name
- for use with the default parameters:
- date -u +@GMT-%Y.%m.%d-%H.%M.%S
+ * This is a second implemetation of a shadow copy module for exposing
+ * file system snapshots to windows clients as shadow copies.
+ *
+ * See the manual page for documentation.
