Installation on Mac problems about zfsnap HOT 6 CLOSED

What does which zfs say? core.sh tries to run /usr/sbin/zfs, maybe your zfs executable is somewhere else.

from zfsnap.

which zfs reports that the executable is at /usr/local/bin/zfs. I installed OpenZFS on OSX from the official .dmg file, so I can say that this is the default install location on Mac. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix the script?

from zfsnap.

@wiegraffolles You need to edit zfsnap/share/zfsnap/core.sh, scroll to the very end where it says "Darwin" and change the two lines to the correct locations on your system.

ZFS_CMD='/usr/sbin/zfs'
ZPOOL_CMD='/usr/sbin/zpool'

However, you said you installed this from the official dmg? If /usr/local/bin/ is the typical location of zfs commands on OSX, then this default needs to be changed.

If there are any other OS X users out there, please chime in. Otherwise, I will most likely change the default location on OS X.

@Alexqw Yes I downloaded the 1.4.5 release from this page and used it to install OpenZFS:

I will try editing core.sh now and see what results I get.

from zfsnap.

Changing core.sh as follows got the script working for me:

ZFS_CMD='/usr/local/bin/zfs'
ZPOOL_CMD='/usr/local/bin/zpool'

Thanks so much for your help!
