I am adding the zfs snapshot functionality to the current gluster snapshot code to support both the LVM and ZFS snapshots and glusterfs based on the file system type ( zfs or non-zfs) will take the appropriate snapshot. And I am working on gluster 3.6 code
and should be complete in a week or two.<o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
Yes, the current Gluster snapshot implementation is based on LVM.<br>

One of our community member, Prakash (CCed), is currently working on to provide<br>
snapshot support for ZFS. He can provide you more information about the same.<br>
