zsync

ZFS replication script by Thorsten Spille [email protected]

• replicates ZFS filesystems/volumes with user parameter bashclub:zsync (or custom name) configured
• creates optional snapshot before replication (required zfs-auto-znapshot)
• parameter setting uses zfs hierarchy on source
• mirrored replication with existing snapshots (filtered by snapshot_filter)
• pull/local replication only
• auto creates full path on target pool, enforce com.sun:auto-snapshot=false, inherits mountpoint and sets canmount=noauto
• raw replication
• tested on Proxmox VE 7.x/8.x
• ssh cipher auto selection
