Run a remote replication (without Zelta installed between hosts) #19

Open bellhyve opened 10 months ago

It would be useful from a maintenance perspective to just run Zelta on one's own workstation and require no software on any remote host. And as we get closer to being able to make ZFS-based failover "cluster", this will probably need to be orchestrated from a 3rd host.

Added to this feature to dev but it currently does require Zelta to be installed on the initiator because I still have to untangle the zelta match pipe. Not sure which method I'll use for configuration: -T: Use the source host to initiate transfer. -t: Use target host to initiate transfer. Floating hostname before source: initiate from the specified [user@]host, e.g.: zelta sync host.tiebreaker host1:pool/vol host2:pool.vol

A synonym for the above is currently --initiator[=] but I don't know how dangerously flexible I want this thing to be.

Fixed clone, but still requires Zelta to be installed on the Initiator.
