CIFS Share - Duplicate folder directory in all newly created shares? (FreeNAS 9.3)

[Traviswinslow]

New to FreeNAS; upon creating my Windows users & share, all went smooth; for testing I created some new test files in my new share; which works fine. BUT whenever I create a NEW SHARE the contents of the previous share "the test files" appear automatically in my newly created share? Does anyone know why?

You need to give more details like how you are creating these shares in the FreeNAS GUI. Also, which version of FreeNAS are you running?

Thanks for the quick reply....I create my "single" dataset under volumes; them go to shares create them pointing to the newly created dataset. I think what is happening; is even though I am creating a NEW share; it is pointing to the SAME dataset? Do I just create multiple datasets if I want multiple shares at the root?
