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.
Anything wrong (or can go wrong) with this setup?
 
Wow. I thought I need more than that! Nice.

Here’s another puzzler:
How to stop these download station notifications after the completion of each download on VDSM desktop? I could’ve sworn that on DDSM (on the 216) I unchecked File Station and it stop it! Didn’t work here!

Notification settings in DS app itself?
