Gnome's Nautilus Gets ZFS Integration, In OpenSolaris

Posted by timothy on from the one-day-in-linux-would-be-nice dept.

13bpower writes "Sun developer Erwann Chenede posted a new plugin for Nautilus that will integrate ZFS's backup capabilities with Nautilus. This should be a pretty killer feature." As one of the comments puts it, this adds a "Time Machine-esque" function to Solaris, through which a user can specify backup frequency, and when needed browse from available snapshots to restore files.

    Did you NOT read what I typed???

    My issue is with the link that Gnome creates on the desktop. Evidently, it points towards a "x-nautilus-desktop:///name_of_share on server.volume"

    They could have made a symlink to ~/.gvfs/server/share/ instead. This would have kept compatibility with non-gnome programs.

    Instead, they used some gnome handler.

    Like I said...FAIL
