# zrepl: Continuous ZFS Replication
Continuous ZFS replication for the encrypted NFS dataset (f0 → f1) and the
standalone FreeBSD dev VM (f3 → f2). Original plan was HAST, replaced by
zrepl (`zfs send/recv`) — more reliable and avoids the HAST-induced ZFS
corruption that hit us during failover testing.
Install on the participating hosts:
```sh
doas pkg install -y zrepl
```
## f0 configuration (`/usr/local/etc/zrepl/zrepl.yml`)
```yaml
global:
logging:
- type: stdout
level: info
format: human
jobs:
- name: f0_to_f1_nfsdata
type: push
connect:
type: tcp
address: "192.168.2.131:8888" # f1 WireGuard IP
filesystems:
"zdata/enc/nfsdata": true
send:
encrypted: true
snapshotting:
type: periodic
prefix: zrepl_
interval: 1m # every minute
pruning:
keep_sender:
- type: last_n
count: 10
- type: grid
grid: 24x1h | 14x1d | 6x30d
regex: "^zrepl_.*"
keep_receiver:
- type: last_n
count: 10
- type: grid
grid: 24x1h | 14x1d | 6x30d
regex: "^zrepl_.*"
# Note: f0_to_f1_freebsd job removed — the FreeBSD VM was migrated to f3.
# It is now replicated from f3 → f2 (see f3 zrepl config below).
```
## f3 configuration (push: VMs → f2)
```yaml
global:
logging:
- type: stdout
level: info
format: human
jobs:
- name: f3_to_f2_freebsd
type: push
connect:
type: tcp
address: "192.168.2.132:8888" # f2 WireGuard IP
filesystems:
"zroot/bhyve/freebsd": true # development FreeBSD VM
"zroot/bhyve/rocky": true # plain Rocky Linux VM
send:
encrypted: true
snapshotting:
type: periodic
prefix: zrepl_
interval: 10m
pruning:
keep_sender:
- type: last_n
count: 10
- type: grid
grid: 24x1h | 14x1d
regex: "^zrepl_.*"
keep_receiver:
- type: last_n
count: 10
- type: grid
grid: 24x1h | 14x1d
regex: "^zrepl_.*"
```
## f2 configuration (sink for f3's freebsd VM)
f2 has no second drive so the sink lives in `zroot/sink`:
```sh
doas zfs create zroot/sink
```
`/usr/local/etc/zrepl/zrepl.yml`:
```yaml
global:
logging:
- type: stdout
level: info
format: human
jobs:
- name: sink
type: sink
serve:
type: tcp
listen: "192.168.2.132:8888" # f2 WireGuard IP
clients:
"192.168.2.133": "f3"
recv:
placeholder:
encryption: inherit
root_fs: "zroot/sink"
```
Replicated path: `zroot/bhyve/freebsd` → `zroot/sink/f3/zroot/bhyve/freebsd`
Important: do not let `zfs-periodic` snapshot zrepl-managed sender or receiver
datasets. Snapshot creation should be owned by zrepl. On f2,
`/etc/periodic.conf` disables `zfs-periodic` snapshot creation:
```sh
daily_zfs_snapshot_enable="NO"
weekly_zfs_snapshot_enable="NO"
monthly_zfs_snapshot_enable="NO"
```
The local zrepl `snap` job on f3 also excludes both VM datasets so they are only snapshotted by the push job:
```yaml
- name: local_zfs_snapshots
type: snap
filesystems:
"zroot<": true
"zroot/bhyve/freebsd": false
"zroot/bhyve/rocky": false
...
```
The local zrepl `snap` job on f2 also explicitly excludes `zroot/sink<`.
## f1 configuration (sink)
```sh
doas zfs create zdata/sink # receive dataset
```
`/usr/local/etc/zrepl/zrepl.yml`:
```yaml
global:
logging:
- type: stdout
level: info
format: human
jobs:
- name: sink
type: sink
serve:
type: tcp
listen: "192.168.2.131:8888"
clients:
"192.168.2.130": "f0"
recv:
placeholder:
encryption: inherit
root_fs: "zdata/sink"
```
## Enable and start
```sh
doas sysrc zrepl_enable=YES
doas service zrepl start
doas zrepl status # monitor replication
```
Replicated paths: `zdata/enc/nfsdata` → `zdata/sink/f0/zdata/enc/nfsdata`
## Mount replica on f1 (read-only standby)
```sh
doas zfs load-key -L file:///keys/f0.lan.buetow.org:zdata.key \
zdata/sink/f0/zdata/enc/nfsdata
doas mkdir -p /data/nfs
doas zfs set mountpoint=/data/nfs zdata/sink/f0/zdata/enc/nfsdata
doas zfs mount zdata/sink/f0/zdata/enc/nfsdata
doas zfs set readonly=on zdata/sink/f0/zdata/enc/nfsdata # prevent replication breakage
```
## Failover design: intentionally read-only replica
The standby replica is read-only by design. Manual failover (not automatic) to prevent split-brain. To fix broken replication after accidental writes: `doas zfs rollback <snapshot>`.
## Troubleshooting
```sh
# Signal manual replication
doas zrepl signal wakeup f0_to_f1_nfsdata
# Fix "no common snapshot" — destroy and re-replicate
doas zfs destroy -r zdata/sink/f0/zdata/enc/nfsdata
# Test network connectivity
nc -zv 192.168.2.131 8888
# Monitor progress
doas zrepl status --mode raw | grep BytesReplicated
```
**zrepl DL-state on f1 after mid-replication f0 reboot**: if f0 reboots while zrepl is
actively replicating, f1's `[zfskern]` thread can enter **DL state** (disk + locked).
Symptoms: `zpool list`, `zfs list`, `ls /data/nfs/` all hang indefinitely; `zfs set
readonly=off` may return immediately (the kernel path differs). To recover on f1:
```sh
# Stop zrepl to release the replication lock
doas service zrepl stop
# Wait ~30–60 s for the kernel state to drain; then verify
doas zpool list
doas zfs list
doas service zrepl start
```
If ZFS commands still hang after stopping zrepl, a reboot of f1 is required.
The NFS data is still available on f0 so k3s is unaffected during f1 recovery.
