After participating in this mildly spicy thread, I became aware of that fact that the seemingly innocuous quota is not quite a free way to limit the size of datasets and that unfortunately they do impose performance implications; however, the impact they have on performance can be reduced in...

How about, my problem is that I set a snapshot for my folder. But I do not know where the copies are stored, so that in the future I can restore them.

Hello I currently have 2 (ada0 an ada1) 2TB disks each. After installing them in the system and configuring them as a mirror, Freenas reports that I have available for use just over 1TB. Where's the rest of the place? Is everything intended for the ZFS file system?

I needed to clean up some space, because volume has hit the 80 %. So I started to delete a lot of large files, which I didn't need any more, like large downloads etc. After that I noticed, that little to none space was freed through this. So I thought about snapshots. Listing the snapshots in...

Hello, I recently inherited a large FreeNAS build. Being no expert, I read the manual and have poked around this forum and Google for a few days now. When I inherited the pool, I noticed that it was at above 90% utilization so I deleted several million files to free up about 4TB of space...
