Folks,
This is probably a very naive question.
Is it possible to set zfs for bi-directional synchronization of data across two
locations? I am thinking this is almost impossible. Consider two files A and B
at two different sites. There are three possible cases that require
synchronization:
Folks,
I now know that ZFS is capable of preserving AD account sids. I have verified
the scenario with CIFS integration.
I am now wondering if it is possible to achieve a similar AD integration over
WebDAV. Is it possible to retain security permissions on files and folders over
WebDAV?
Thank

Not possible. You can start with a mirror and then add another mirror; the

Hi Daniel,
No conversion from a mirrored to RAIDZ configuration is available yet.
Mirrored pools are more flexible and generally provide good performance.
You can easily create a mirrored pool of two disks and then add two
more disks later. You can also replace each disk with larger disks

Yes, that is true. If you have 4 2 TB drives, you would only get 4 TBs

The problem I see with your potential RAIDZ config, if I understand

Hi Beau,
The naming breaks down like this:
c=controller
t=target
d=disk
Some controllers use a target to provide a unique address for each disk.
Others do not use a target and those disks would be named like c8d0 or
c8d1.

Cindy,
Hmm, I've using RAIDZ-2 on a nexentastor elsewhere (although that has
15 disks) and having looked quite a bit I agree that mirroring is very
flexible in comparison.
I'll have to think about it and see if I can afford to lose the 2TB's.
The other solution I can think off is to
You can't transition a mirrored pool to a RAIDZ pool with an
pool export/import. If you find any info that says you can,
please send a pointer.
You would need to do these important middle steps:
If you transition from a mirrored configuration to a RAIDZ
configuration, you would need to backup
Sorry I think I used the wrong terms there, still learning, I think
what I meant was send/receive rather than import/export.
Would it be possible to use zfs send to backup the data somewhere
(I'll work that bit out later), then receive it into the new pool?
And if I did that would I keep
Yes, if you created snapshots of your file systems and stored them
remotely, you could receive them into the new pool.
I recommend that you test this process a few times before attempting
the transition.
Thanks,
