Making the File System Control Directory (.zfs) Visible (CLI)

Note:

Setting the .zfs directory to visible may cause backup software to back up snapshots and clones in addition to live data.
  1. Go to and select the file system share.
    hostname:> shares select myproject
hostname:shares myproject> select demo_share
hostname:shares myproject/demo_share>
  2. Use the set snapdir command to set the file system snapshot directory to visible.
    hostname:shares myproject/demo_share> set snapdir=visible
        snapdir=visible(uncommitted)
  3. Enter commit to save the change.
    hostname:shares myproject/demo_share> commit
  4. To make the directory hidden again, return to this context and use the set snapdir command to set the directory to hidden, then enter commit to save the change.
    hostname:shares myproject/demo_share> set snapdir=hidden
        snapdir=hidden(uncommitted)
hostname:shares myproject/demo_share> commit
