Hi, can NAS4Free do nested ZFS Datasets? I saw somewhere that CIFS shares can't support this? But maybe that's the wrong question?

* Couldn't see anything in ZFS/Datasets/Datasets dialogues.
* Tried "moving" the Dataset using Quix, but that didn't work and was likely wrong anyway.

That "other product" seems to allow this; however for other reasons I "came back". (I've been using "7" for a couple of years quite happily, and like what I've found very much in NAS4Free.)

Thanks,

John

You can do it from the gui. You just need to enter the path in the "name field." So, I have a pool named zpool1, and i choose to add a dataset called "tank." Simple enough. To create the nested dataset, I create another called "tank/video". This will create the video dataset within the tank dataset.

I have no idea about CIFS. From the initial Googling, it seems you are right that CIFS doesn't like it, but I don't have the time to test it.
