Maybe someone would kindly give me some guidance. Is there a way to list all the existing shared directories on FreeNAS shell. The command: zfs list, does not show any shared directories, only pools, despite the files being on the system.
I tested this by creating a dummy shared directory called TEST. I transferred a 2 GB file and am able to access it remotely via windows SMB file system (\\IP\NAS\Media\VideoFiles\TEST). However, the file is not listed in the datasets or the directory zfs list.
The reason I ask is because I created another Windows SMB sharing folder on FreeNAS server and transferred 500GB of files from windows computer to this shared folder. I was unable to access these files from an Android device, so I created a dataset with the same name. I was then going to transfer these files from the SMB shared directory to the dataset and discovered that I lost access to the shared folder on my windows device. Would creating a "dataset" delete files within an identically named "SMB shared" directory? IF not, I would like to locate the hidden directory path to map the location and retrieve these files? I received no delete prompts or warnings. I would of expected at the least that these files would have been merged if there was a conflict since they shared the same file name: i.e. (NAS/Media/VideoFiles)
If I could browse all files on the NAS, I would know for sure if the previous files are lost. How do you list the vfs directories? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
