query on using flar to backup zfs rpool
I am trying to create flash archives of my root zpools for use in jumpstart recovery. The systems all have root zpools and a number of other zpools. Nothing else.
What I want to do with flarcreate is archive the root rpool, excluding all the other zpools.
So, what I'd hoped to do is use the -D option for my dataset exclusions.
E.g. flarcreate -n drm4k1 -D pool1/data1 -D pool1/data2 drm4k1.flar
Given the size of the flar file the -D exlcusion does not seem to have worked.
As an alternative I have used the -X flar exclusion file with a cpio archive - see below.
