So, previously I installed with the wrong timezone, and after fixing the timezone, I found the time-slider service in maintenance mode, which seemed to be because it tried to make a snapshot with a name that already existed, due to the time having been adjusted back by an hour. I shrugged it off because the mistake was initially mine.
However, the end of daylight savings time here has caused the same behavior, and made time-slider stop taking snapshots without making any noise. Is this something that has been addressed before? If not, I will open a bug, but I thought I would post to the list partly in case this has caught someone else unaware. Here is what the end of /var/svc/log/application-time-slider:default.log says: Failed to create snapshots for schedule: hourly Caught RuntimeError exception in snapshot manager thread Error details: --------BEGIN ERROR MESSAGE-------- ['/usr/bin/pfexec', '/usr/sbin/zfs', 'snapshot', '-r', 'mainpool@zfs-auto-snap_hourly-2012-11-04-01h07'] failed with exit code 1 cannot create snapshot 'mainpool@zfs-auto-snap_hourly-2012-11-04-01h07': dataset already exists cannot create snapshot 'mainpool/storage@zfs-auto-snap_hourly-2012-11-04-01h07': dataset already exists cannot create snapshot 'mainpool/rpoolbackup@zfs-auto-snap_hourly-2012-11-04-01h07': dataset already exists no snapshots were created --------END ERROR MESSAGE-------- Snapshot monitor thread exited.
