Hello all,
Source System
I setup a second server with some new hardware and some hardware I had laying around as a target for my replication tasks. I followed this post in order to setup the SSH connection.
First question here would be: I was not prompted for my root password yet. From what I gathered Use Sudo for ZFS Commands should be checked if I have not setup passwordless sudo. I did not change the configuration to the default core root user yet. Is this correct?
Second question:
This is on the source machine, neptune is the source pool and earth is the remote target pool.
The last part in red confuses me: no snapshops of earth/moon would be replicated. But I do not want to replicate from there, I want to replicate to there. If I change the direction to pull, the message disappears.
Also, is there any advantage using the advanced options over the wizard? I just want to create a 1:1 copy of my main system.
Unfortunately I couldn't test the replication using the wizard because I got the error:
When I tried to add
I tried looking at the documentation but I found it confusing, especially the part about the home directories. Why would I need a home dir for my users?
It seems like I'm misunderstanding some crucial part here. I thought CORE as the remote system would have some advantages (lower CPU usage because the lacking apps / VM capabilities, higher memory usage for cache (although that shouldn't really matter I guess; I can only replicate over power lan, which will limit me to 5 Mib/s or something like that).
I might consider switching to SCALE though because if I remember correctly, when I played around with a SCALE test system the remote replication worked basically out of the box.

/usr/local/sbin/zfs for the root user on my scale system it said it couldn't be found.I tried looking at the documentation but I found it confusing, especially the part about the home directories. Why would I need a home dir for my users?
But it seems like the configuration has to be made for the local scale users?
