Hi guys,
I have a filer running 9.3 that zfs replicates a single dataset locally from my 8 drive raidz2 pool (zpool0) to a single 3TB drive (backup_pool). The other day the dataset on "zpool0" finally outgrew "backup pool."
What I would like is to define replication tasks for 3 of the 4 datasets nested within so I exclude my media dataset. When I go to the "Replication Tasks" tab in the GUI to set up a new task the only dataset I can select is zpool0/dataset0, which is the only dataset I have ever replicated from. The manual makes it sound like I should be able to set up zfs replication using any dataset as a source, but I could be totally misunderstanding things as well.
I don't see any sort of way to explore for a dataset so I assume the FreeNAS should auto-populate the "Volume\Dataset" dropdown box in the replication setup.
So can anybody fact-check me here? Can you replicate a nested dataset & if so how do you tell FreeNAS which one you want to use as the source?
