I am presently jailing ZFS pools and the approach I've been using to "backup" my media is that I mirror my online drive with 2 offline mirrors by attaching them and onlining them whenever I need to synchronize contents. This approach has worked well for me as it takes advantage of resilvering, so it is quick and easy.
However, since I moved the media functionality to a jail I cannot work with geli in the jail, so I have to perform the operations on the host, which I can do, but it seems like it would be best if I could do it all from within the jail.
The host takes care of attaching the disk (GELI) and importing the pool and then jailing it. I'd like to also be able to attach a USB disk and then online that drive to the pool all from within the jail. Is that possible?
