Hi again!
OK I have created a z2 pool with 8 x 4 TB disks....
I thought the logical next step would be to create my datasets..
Datasets being Films, Music, TV-shows etc...
The one thing that is a bit annoying is if you place files in films that are meant for TV-Shows there is a long transfer time....
Is there something I am missing here or is that the standard practice with ZFS...create a pool and then datasets in the form of your main files like above?
Do I need to create datasets for such files?
What are the pitfalls if I don't?
BTW should point out I have now upgraded the memory to 12GB...Yes I know more would be advantageous but this is an old computer given to me that I have upgraded with better CPU cooler and extra ram and my new disks..trying not to bankcrupt myself...
