Hi All,
I have a small BSD server running at home with a small SSD and a 6tb disk. This is used for samba and as a plex media server
I also have a remote server with 15 disks, sitting at work.
Home and work are linked via VPN, but over a fairly slow connection (20mbps with about 30ms latency)
My goal is to have a low power server running at home and have it mirrored to a redundant encrypted disks/pool/pack at the remote site.
In an ideal world, the disks / pool would remain encrypted to the remote server.
I have built a 14disk RaidZ2 pool and created a zvol. I have then run HAST with the single 6tb disk and the zvol (home as primary and remote as secondary) and finally created a (geli backed) UFS filesystem on the home server.
I have (hopefully) configured HAST to run in async mode, but copying a file on the local server still takes a very long time, as though the data is being copied over the VPN link to the far end HAST member.
I would have expected the copy to complete much quicker and then have HAST copy the blocks over in the background.
Should HAST work as I expected?
Is there a better way to achieve my goal?
Thanks
Paul
