Hello,
as there seem to be issues with recursive replication which might lead to it's removal (see jkh's comment in ticket #2360 or search e.g. for freenas:state in the bug tracker) I am wondering how to layout the datasets in the zpool properly.
The whole system is still a lab installation, so I am not bound to any constrains.
Right now the layout basically looks like this:
My plan has been to setup recursive replication for cifs and multimedia and replicate jails, timemachine and postgres datasets manually (while switched off, or through Postgres' replication).
In case the recursive replication gets removed in FreeNAS I could set up cron jobs and still replicate recursively, but I'd rather like to stick with the GUI.
This would probably mean that I would have to set up one snapshot and replication task for each of the public, scanner, transfer, user_1, ..., user_n, audio, video datasets. But in this case it would be easier to have a completely flat layout (without the cifs, cifs/shares, cifs/users, multimedia datasets). I don't like this idea very much....
So how do you layout your filesystems?
Thanks and bye,
RW
