Could a kind soul point me to the additional documentation besides man hammer(5) and man hammer(8) which will help me further understand the difference in use/purpose of HAMMER snapshot and mirror-copy/mirror-stream on the production file server? I am also interested to hear from gurus what is the main difference of HAMMER snapshot vs ZFS snapshot and also how does mirror-copy/mirror-stream compares to ZFS clone.
My confusion in part comes from the fact that HAMMER has build in history which is non-existing on ZFS so it seems that snapshots are kind semi-redundant if the history is enabled. Of course history might be very expensive in terms of disk space as I learned hard way about half a year ago so turning off history and taking HAMMER snapshots instead might be desirable in some situations. Could anybody point me to any examples of mirror-stream via ssh to a remote machine. Is there a way to encrypt mirror-stream on the fly when doing it to a remote location? Most Kind Regards, Predrag P.S. I read serveral times over HAMMER crash course posted on BSD now.
