You're correct, there's no point in such a setup. The "unencrypted" dataset would still be inaccessable behind the encrypted pool until you unlocked it.oh i see, appreciate your reply.
Maybe one more question...
in case i passphrase protect main pool, and then create dataset inside of it with no encryption .. whats the point of such a setup?
Until you Unlock main pool, u still wont be able to use any dataset (wether encrypted / or not) inside of it?
thanks
I glossed over that when I wrote "no, passphrase or key-based encryption". Obviously, if the pool is key encrypted and you have a dataset in the pool that you have chosen to not encrypt, you would still not be able to access the unencrypted dataset if you happened to lose your key.
Edit: In fact, I just noticed you do not appear to be able to set a dataset to have no encryption at all, if the pool is encrypted.
