Appreciate any input on the solution below.
After trying to go through a few dedicated (Docker) torrents download+vpn solutions (and failing as usually the case for me with anything Docker
I thought to myself why the headache, I can use VDSM on the 1019+ to dedicate it to VPN. But VDSM can only run on Btrfs, while I want the media files to be on an ext4 pool.
The way I’d like to configure the 1019+ (I’m still playing with it, not deployed yet):
Storage pool 1, 2 disks SHR-1, Btrfs (for my important stuff).
Storage pool 2, 3 disks SHR-5, ext4 (mainly media).

My torrent solution:
- I created a VDSM on pool 1 (because it needs Btrfs).
- Installed Download Station.
- Created a new VPN profile for my VPN provider and connected over VPN.
- Created a few folders on pool 2 (the ext4 pool).
- Created a user with permissions to those folders only, to use when mounting them.
- Mounted the folders on the VDSM as remote folders (CIFS) to use them as Download Station targets.
- Tested a few dloads and it was so smooth. I really like it.
