@ajschot The kernel mod in the post you quoted does work... and the previous posts were updated as well.
- Any tunable added will be auto loaded upon reboot.
- The loader isn't for CrashPlan specifically, but for jails in general. For
warden
it's a sysctl loader, for iocage
it's a rc.conf loader
Well I know that, but i need to make a script and auto start the crashplan iocage jail. But that is for later, make a script and add that to rc.conf.
@ajschot
Your pools will be auto mounted during the boot process, regardless of what version of FreeNAS you're running.
- Why would you need to make an additional 2 pools for FreeNAS 11?
- You don't mount a pool in Crashplan, you mount the dataset you want CrashPlan to backup to in the /media directory on CrashPlan via
iocage
.
- I'm not sure what command does that in iocage, so issue
iocage
& iocage <parameter> --help
in a terminal to investigate what parameter it might be, as the GUI cannot be utilized for this since the GUI still uses warden
.
- I also recommend using the
iocage snapshot <jail>
command prior to making any changes to CrashPlan, and a new snapshot once you get one thing working, prior to moving on to a new thing. This will allow you to restore the previous snapshot if something inadvertently gets messed up =]
- If you're unable to get CrashPlan up and running in a jail, or would simply like to get something up and running immediately while still working on getting the jail working, you can install Ubuntu in a VM on FreeNAS 11 and run the CrashPlan server from the Ubuntu VM.
First thing
I use 3 pools:
1) Data - Own recodings, photo's, homevideo's, administration etc. (Raidz2 - 32TB)
2) Backup Time Machine (to backup my macbook's, Hackintosh and my wife's macbook) (RaidZ 9TB)
3) Docker & VM's (SSD's) (mirror - 120GB)
Why? Well i like to keep things organized and extra safe. 3 pools, 3 vdevs.
This way my photo's are on the machine, on the data disk and in a TimeMachine backup.
Also if i make 1 big pool it take's a lot more time to rebuild when a disks crashes, this way i always can get to my files. While the backup pool is off course slow because this are only TimeMachine backups.
I want to mount my Data pool to Crashplan, in docker it was just make a mount, so host: '/mnt/Data/' in docker mount '/freenasDATA' same for the old jails...
Thanks for the snapshots, i saw it on a manual about iocage but i did not dig into that but i will create one because everything is working only i can not acces my files in my jail.
I would love this or docker to work because i don't want to use SMB or NFS share to not overload my services with data trafic when not needed.
In Docker it uses VT9 which so no NFS or SMB load, also with the old jails. When setting up Crashplan iocage there is no mounting point.
So again to be clear, i want to backup my Data TO the Crashplan server.
Oh about Ubuntu, well... i don't like bhyve i found it not stable enough yet. I used iohuve before with ubuntu and that worked just fine, only i have to use again SMB or NFS to backup my dataset to Crashplan.Same when using a VM in ESXi which i am using now already but not for crashplan, just for a iTunes server.
This is my setup now:
ESXi 6.5 with 4 VM's
1 Corral (using 64Gb RAM, 16 cores, 8x4TB Data, 3x3TB Backup 2x 120GB VM-Docker on 2 LSI 9211-8i)
2 FN 11 (4 cores, 16Gb ram, testing)
3 Windows 10 (4 cores, 4Gb)
4 Mac OS 9 (4 cores, 8Gb)
In Corral i use some dockers (Plex, Crashplan, NZBGet, Transmission, Couchpotato, Kodi, Nextcloud, homebridge)
