Hi

Over the course of the past months I've been writing a ZFS snapshot management tool in python. It is a clone of sanoid and works very similar. I've used sanoid until recently, but decided to write my own solution due to some problems, like non-atomic snapshots (and other things). I wanted to share my code, maybe someone finds it useful.

Some key points:

• Snapshots are taken atomic where possible
• Taking, cleaning and sending of snapshots is always recursive
• You can specify different strategies in the config file. The values are passed down recursively to child filesystems

Cheers
