ZFS Plugin: Why are all Shared Folders moved to a newly created nested filesystem?

So today I wanted to create a couple of nested filesystems in ZFS so I can snapshot smaller subsets of the data. When doing this, I noticed that upon creation of a nested filesystem, all shares that were originally pointing to the parent filesystem now point to the nested filesystem (as the parent "device").

It's easy enough to fix, just switch back to the actual parent device, but why this behaviour? What is the use-case of automatically changing the share to the newly created (and therefore empty) filesystem?

Example:

I have a ZFS filesystem called "Camera" on the main ZFS Pool:

MainZFS/Camera

This is shared as a shared folder and then via SMB to all my clients. Additionally, another regular folder within the share called "Video" (MainZFS/Camera/Video) is a shared folder.

I create a sub-filesystem called "RAWs" there and mount it to, say "MainZFS/Camera/Temp/RAWs", using the Plugin:

MainZFS/Camera/RAWs

Now what happens, is that all shares originally referencing MainZFS/Camera now reference the "device" MainZFS/Camera/RAWs and therefore all shared folders now end up being shared on the location "MainZFS/Camera/Temp/RAWs"... This means obviously nothing is being shared anymore and new empty folders are created in that new filesystem instead.

Again, it seems like there is some purpose behind this, but I really can't figure out what the purpose of this would be?

Thanks! That seems like a viable workaround! I assume, however, that if I'd create a new filesystem in MainZFS then zshare would exhibit the same issue?

It could be that is not the case, will test it afterwards.

Edit: I can confirm my hypothesis from above. If I create a shared folder in MainZFS called "zshare" and then create a new filesystem in MainZFS called "zsharetest", the zfs plugin updates the previously created "zshare" shared folder to the new filesystem:

Thanks for the heads-up Krisbee .

ryecoaaron I'll try and read up on the code, but I'm no dev and have no experience with php. Can I change the php code on the fly on a vm omv install or would I need to compile from source/somehow reload or reinstall omv everytime I try to make a change?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but in my experience getting these stupid questions out of the way saves hours of fruitless research because everyone just assumes you need to know this and noone explains it.
