To make sure I fully understand snapshots, their affect on disk space and replication, I have two FreeNAS boxes set up with replication.
On the "master" box, I am generating files using "dd" and then snapshotting the dataset which triggers the replication.

- Is generating the files directly on the "master" server a "valid" way to do things or should I be creating the files off-server through a share?
- If I want to check the replication on the "slave" computer, is looking at the folder on the "slave" server through an SSH shell valid or should I be looking at it through a share also?
