Freenas 11.3 U2.1
I needed to make an SMB share for some a new dataset I had in mind. So I made one. Problem is I got ahead of myself and the dataset didn't exist yet. But, the SMB share was successfully created and ran me through setting up ACL....Then I realized i forgot to create the dataset. So I assumed the share wouldn't work until I did..
So I go to create the dataset I had declared when creating the share. Freenas (GUI) says the dataset of that name ("Movies") already exists. I refresh the page to see if the dataset is there. The dataset is not there.
When I do "zfs list" from console, all my datasets are listed except for "Movies" one that Freenas is saying already exists. Odd. If it's there, why can't i see it?
I check the SMB share from a windows box. I'm able to navigate and start dropping files there. I check my storage to see if any values are rising to indicate where the data is located. Storage values are remaining static.
Feeling bewildered, I create a new dataset of a different name "Vids". It shows up both in GUI and console as expected.
From the console, I do "zfs create Movies" -- Succesful. Odd, I thought the dataset already existed according to the GUI.
I check the SMB share from a winodws box...All the files I dropped are gone....Ok, I thought. It re-created the dataset and wiped all the data. But I thought I better double check.
So I "zfs destroy" both "Movies" and "Vids" succesfully. I go back and check the share from the windows box and the old files I dropped on the "hidden" dataset are right back.
This is probably the most WTF thing I've ever had happen with Freenas. Looking for someone who knows what is going on and how I fix it.
Thank you!
