Pretty serious problem here guys. I have a FN box (source) that I replicate iSCSI zvols to a remote data center (target) for DR. Few days ago, the replication process complained it can no longer receive the incremental stream due to the snapshots being out of sync. I tried all kinds of ways suggested on the forum, but in the end I deleted all of the snapshots on the replication server hoping the source server will kick off a brand new replication stream.
This morning I noticed the entire zvol is now missing on the target server. The source server now complains that it cannot send incrementals because the dataset is missing. ????
What in the world happened? Perhaps I don't fully understand zfs, but why would deleting snapshots cause the entire zvol to disappear? And how do I fix this?
