I tried searching, but after two days of not really getting my questions answered I decided to post in the forum.
First, is there a real world explanation of what happens when you set up replication? I'm not sure if the snapshot gets replicated or if the file structure is replicated from the snapshot.
Here's what I'm trying to accomplish. Both FreeNAS boxes have one volume, one dataset, and one CIFS share, taking up all available disk space. NAS-1/share/ is accessed by groupA. They store their data in various subfolders. NAS-2/share/ is accessed by groupB, sharing their data in subfolders. The subfolders are named differently (nas-1/share/eng/ & nas-2/share/mkt/ as an example). I want all subfolders to be available on both FreeNAS boxes.
Is that doable? Is there a howto I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
