Hello,
I've just built a second FreeNAS server after about 7 months of positive experience with my first production one. For now I was able to replace two old dual bay QNAP's and I'm really happy with the speed resulting from this. As a little background - I have a wedding photo & video studio with over 50 weddings a year. My main needs for this system were to have 2-3 users going through photo/video selection and then editing at the same time without slowdowns. All together it comes down to lots of small files (10-25mb), but high IO.
Now I built a second system to complete my offsite backup to protect myself against fire, theft, etc.
The new system has an ASRock C2550d4i board with 16gb of Crucial RAM (certified compatible with board) and is temporarily hosting a single 8TB Seagate Archive drive, will get a second one shortly to backup my second vdev.
I have started using the replication yesterday on my 8TB array (4x4tb) & it's been giving me quite a few errors connecting and starting the whole thing most of which I was able to resolve by searching here and doing a few reconfigurations - at this point I believe my setup is correct.
The snapshots are configured so that every 30m there's a new one on the 'set4tb' vdev that is kept for 2 weeks - this is to avoid employees accidentally deleting files that were just copied over. The current usages of this vdev is 4.37TB & the replication task that's been running overnight is already at 5.12TB and is still working based on the CPU/HDD usage graphs.
Main server is 0.199 and secondary is 0.198
Now to the questions:
My current error that is still hanging is the following:
Replication set4tb/Photo -> 192.168.0.198:bkp-p1 failed: Failed: set4tb/Photo (auto-20151202.0900-2w)
Not sure what it's supposed to mean.
The other question is - I had made my share in CIFS and everything looks good, mapped the drive, seeing the usage, but once I open it - it says it's empty. I think I just missed something...
Now from my understanding I will be able to access all the files once the copy is done from a regular CIFS share? The reason is I often need to review some files from home and I would much rather do it this way instead of connecting via TeamViewer to the office.
Is there a guide I can look into for setting that up? I can't figure out whether I need a static IP or a Dynamic DNS setup?
