hello, world\n
If I need to quickly delete all files on a file system, with UFS I can
simply use newfs. Is there something equivalent for ZFS that is neither
of
* cd mount-point; rm -rf * (not really quick, needs messing with chflags)
* zfs destroy dataset; zfs create dataset (loses all properties set)
I.e. the task is to quickly nuke all files without losing the dataset
properties. Is there maybe a way to save and restore the properties?
Regards,
Jens
