Replication only works for a while
I wonder if anyone can help with some problems I'm having with snapshots and replication.
I've got replication set-up and apparently working, I had some teething trouble with SSH authentication, but then realised the documentation was incorrect, so overcame that. I also realised there was an error in the documentation that instructs you to enter the remote path with a leading /mnt, again, I'm past that point.
I have replication working up to a point.
I have one volume - v0 and a number of datasets beneath this
I have set-up a snapshot for the volume
I have set-up individual snapshots for each dataset
The snapshots work and they replicate just fine
On the REMOTE system I can see all the data, nicely replicated
Then the next snapshot/replication cycle kicks off and again all the snapshots work and are replicated, however, when I now look at the filesystem on REMOTE, all the data other than that in the v0 (i.e. the parent volume of all the other datasets) has vanished
A zfs list shows all the filesystems as there and of the right sizes
Subsequent snapshots and replications work and the zfs volume/dataset sizes adjust appropriately when I do a zfs list, but the data cannot be seen.
Can anyone shed any light into where I'm going wrong. I'm sure I'm 99% there, but there's just one piece of the jigsaw missing, and the documentation isn't a lot of help, particularly as there are quite a few errors in it.
Thanks in advance.
