I will be setting up a NexentaStor Community Edition based ZFS file server. I will be serving some zvols over iSCSI to some FreeBSD machines to host jails in.
1) The ZFS box offers a single iSCSI target that exposes all the zvols as individual disks. When the FreeBSD initiator finds it, it creates a separate disk for each zvol. I assume if I have multiple FreeBSD machines connecting to this iSCSI target, as long as no individual zvol is mounted on more than 1 FreeBSD machine, the fact that a disk "exists" for each zvol on each FreeBSD machine is irrelevant and won't cause problems 2) I am thinking about formatting the virtual disks served from the Nexenta iSCSI target as ZFS on the FreeBSD machine even though it has no redundancy. I see this as safe since the backing store on the Nexenta machine is a redundant based ZFS zvol... Is this correct thinking?
