redmop / sanoid

Policy-driven snapshot management and replication tools. Currently using ZFS for underlying next-gen storage, with explicit plans to support btrfs when btrfs becomes more reliable. Primarily intended for Linux, but BSD use is supported and reasonably frequently tested.

Syncoid - Better syncoid snapshot naming #3

Open redmop opened 9 years ago

redmop commented 9 years ago

Syncoid snapshots should have syncoid_source_destination type names. This will help with cleanup scripts when removing snapshots which have nothing to do with the host they are on. In other words, syncoid_hosta_hostb syncoid_hosta_hostc

On hostb, hostc snapshots are not needed, and vice versa, so they can be deleted after X time. Maybe look to see if they exist on hosta, and delete them if they do not.

Make the cleanup and option in case it isn't needed

Note that there is a nas4free sync script that doesn't create snapshots when syncing, it just finds the latest that both ends have and syncs from there.
