Snapshot replication on push "is running" but no snapshots on pull system present

[bramble]

Compare the size of that iSCSI-Target1 to the size of the zvoll in the GUI. They are not the same thing.

ok!?
you mean the push or pull system?

sorry, but i really dont know where the problem is.

e.g. the push system (my system1) is broken and i need the replicated snapshots from the pull system (my system2) to get my iscsi target back online!
how can i manage this when its not possible to mount a snapshot-clone On the pull system ?

Let's clear up a couple things.

Snapshots let you go back in time. If you don't need to go back in time, then you don't need to clone a snapshot.

If you want to share the iscsi zvol on system2, then go through the steps to share the zvol via iscsi. Mounting it isn't the answer, nor the problem, so stop worrying about that. I've told you this before many times. I'm not sure how to state it any clearer.

you mean the push or pull system?

on Push (since you said you can't ls iscsi-target1 on pull).

sorry, but i really dont know where the problem is.

It sounds like the problem is you have an iscsi zvol on system2 that you want to share and incorrectly think that in order to do that, you must 1. make a clone and 2. mount it. You don't.

it's not an iscsi zvol, it's an iscsi file extent on system1 that should be replicated to system2.
i dont know if this makes any difference to this problem

So ISCSI-Target1 is a dataset with a file called ISCSI-Storage1?

Which dataset are you snapshotting? Are you sure you are recursively snapshotting?

And are you sure you're recursively replicating?

no, not recursive snapshotting

And are you sure you're recursively replicating?

yes, replicating is recursive.

does this means the file is not included in the dataset although its on the same level?

Can you please provide the output of zfs mount (in code tags) from both push and pull? dataset1/dataset1/iscsi-target1 has over 8TB of data on Pull. It's there, you just can't see it, and we are trying to figure out why you can't see it.

And on Pull what does the following command return:

Code:

It looks like your Pull dataset1 is read only. Did you set that, or was it done automatically by FreeNAS? You can try changing the settings to read-write (both dataset1 and dataset1/iscsi-target1) and then rerun the mount command.

You are right! it's set to read only but wasn't set by me.
where can i set it back to read/write? looked under "edit" at the dataset settings but couldnt find an option.

 

[depasseg]

Code:

zfs set readonly=off vol1/dataset1/dataset1

and possibly

Code:

zfs set readonly=off vol1/dataset1/dataset1/ISCSI-Target1

then re-run the mount command.

That did the trick!
Thank You!

I will have an eye on the dataset, under which circumstances it possible goes back to read only....
