****Tech-Tip \#81****  
[Mounting a dataset](https://www.ixsystems.com/documentation/freenas/11.3-U4/jails.html) does not automatically mount any child datasets inside it. Each dataset is a separate filesystem, so child datasets must each have separate mount points.

**Quote of the Month**  
“When I had an issue or a question on TrueNAS I was put on the phone with a person very experienced with TrueNAS to answer my oddball and left field questions about highly unlikely use cases. This was before I had actually bought anything from iXsystems and was still shopping around. It’s hard to find that kind of support up front.”
