Hi all.
I'm not sure if this is a question that belongs on the truenas scale forum or if it's more of a general question that only relates to zfs. If it belongs on the scale forum i can either repost or the mods can move it.
I'm looking for general advice on my setup, is it a good idea the way i'm doing it? or am i missing something? or just in general any tips people have for me.
- What we're doing.
We are trying to do zpool backup to a truenas scale appliance. For security reasons i'm having truenas reach out and pull the data off the servers via a replication task. Because truenas doesn't support snapshot tasks on remote systems i'm using zfs-autobackup to manage snapshots on the individual servers, and then having the replication task pull those snapshots from the servers.
I have all this working so far but now have the following questions. Yesterday i was experimenting with my restore procedure which involves cloning the snapshot, mounting the clone, and getting the files i need.
I can clone and mount it, but once i have the data i can't delete it. I get the following error.
Why is this? I'm trying to delete the clone, not it's parent. And yes, i did unmount the dataset again.
In addition, my replication task gave the following error overnight.
Again, why is this? I didn't touch the dataset other than cloning vm-107-disk-0.
Am i not understanding something obvious here? or is this a scale specific bug? or is it something else.
Also, if someone has a workflow to achieve the same as i listed above that's cleaner i'd love to here it.
Thanks.
