Can I remove the dataset .bhyve_containers?

[klarkie]

Today I updated from Freenas 11.3 to TrueNAS-12.0-U2. Everything seems to work fine. I have wanted to remove the disks from the bottom pool for a while now but just noticed that a "new" volume appeared, this .bhyve_containers dataset was not visible in the web UI before. I ran stat /mnt/<REDACTED>/.bhyve_containers and it says the file has been here since February 2019. Right now I do not have any VMs.

Would it be safe for me to remove the drives? I don't know if this dataset is still used by Truenas or not, it could be from an older version of Freenas.

If I still need this dataset would there be a way to move it to my other pool?

This is used by the Docker host VM. If you're not using this, feel free to remove this dataset.
