Another Replication problem...

[Albinius]

Hi! Thanks for stopping by! I've been at it all day but to no avail...

I just want to replicate one pool to another. Everything is without error and copies till 100%. The problem is, the backed up data does not show up/is not accessible via the Gui - Pools, nor its visible when I search with command prompt. But its taken up the volume on hard drive...

I tried nearly every option but I can't seem get it to work. Only for 1 pool it works, but when I try with the same settings, still nothing.

You did not explain the steps you have done, as well as your system per forum rules, and we can't read in your mind: we can't help you.

I'm sorry, but I'm all out of juice :/

My system is a simple AsRock J5040 motherboard (With integrated Quad Core CPU) with 16GB Ram, non ecc.
TrueNAS-13.0-U3.1

Disk setup:

Pool 1 (1.9TB data) --> Plexmedia = 2*4TB(mirror) + 2*500GB(mirror)
Pool 2 (500GB data) --> Proxmox-Link = 2*2TB(mirror)
Pool 3 (50GB data) -->Series = 3*1TB(raidz)
Pool 4 (Empty) --> Replicator = 1*8TB (stripe)

So I'm trying to Replicate from Pool 1 or Pool 2 (same issue) to pool Replicator. The task runs fine, without errors and takes up spaces on the backup drive. Except I dont see the data on it.
If i try the same(with the same options) with Pool 3, it copies withouth a hitch.

At the moment I'm replicating Pool 2 to the Replicator. See the screenshot for a visual of what I mean.
Even in commant prompt the folder 'Proxmox' doesnt show up.

I have tried:

1. Reboot
2. Wipe Replicator pool and restart.
3. Wipe snapshots
4. Try with premade snapshots
5. Try without premade snapshots
6. Tried copying with and without Recursive option
7. Included and exluded dataset properties
8. Tried replication from scratch option
   
   What more info can i Provide?

That's way better. It's not that I wanted to be a jerk (well, maybe a little bit?) but that you usually only get one shot to make people help you: most of the users here either skip a thread that doesn't have a sufficient degree of informations or ask for them, depending on how did their day go.
Also it does help us having a full picture in mind while we try to sort out the issue.

Now, for starters I would try a ls -a to show hidden files.
Then I would try to use zfs send | zfs receive to launch the replication from terminal, but probably there is someone with more experience that can help you solve the issue and fix it in the gui before switching to the terminal.

When i do 'zfs list' --> it does show up in there...



its /mnt/replicator/backups/proxmox with 164GB already copied


Does that mean i gotta do a 'zfs mount Replicator/Backups/Proxmox' ?

This might be useful.

Issue with Replication task - don't copy all files

Hi All, I have 2 Truenas servers: Main(Truenas) and Backup(TrueBackup). I've scheduled snapshots on Truenas every 15min, and Replication task on TrueBackup every 30 min. Unfortunately new files are not showing in TrueBackup evern 1 day later. Below logs from TrueBackup [2022/11/22...
