[zfs-discuss] Is it possible to replicate an entire zpool with AVS?
Hello, Is it possible to replicate an entire zpool with AVS? From what I see, you can replicate a zvol, because AVS is filesystem agnostic. I can create zvols within a pool, and AVS can replicate replicate those, but that''s not really what I want. If I create a zpool called "disk1", paulchoi at nfs01b:/dev/zvol# find /dev/zvol /dev/zvol /dev/zvol/dsk /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/dump /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/swap /dev/zvol/rdsk /dev/zvol/rdsk/rpool /dev/zvol/rdsk/rpool/dump /dev/zvol/rdsk/rpool/swap paulchoi at nfs01b:/dev/zvol# The only zvol entries I see are for zvols that have been explicitly created. Any tricks to using AVS with a zpool? Or should I just opt for periodic zfs snapshot and zfs send/recieve?
