Learning FreeNAS with two boxes. This morning I recreated a replication task (every ten minutes) to another FreeNAS box. To test a slow connection, I limited the bandwidth. I misread the screen and set a realllly sloooow replication. it started and took over 40 minutes. I changed the task so it was not limited by bandwidth.
Before I recognized the problem, the same task started again before the first one had finished. Before all was said and done, I had a mess which I cleaned up by destroying the offending snapshots.
This got me thinking, if I want to set up multiple snapshot schedules (keep dailies for 7 days, weeklies for 5 weeks, monthlies for 12 months, etc.) for the same volume/dataset but with differing expirations, will the different schedules know to expire their snapshots and not the other snapshots?
