How to use FreeNAS dataset to store events & images from ZM 1.34.9 jail install?

[Frank Collins]

Hello all,
I have searched all of the forums and the web and have read every search result but cannot find the answer. I have read the ZM docs but that wasn't any help for FreeNAS. I tried to use the ZM console but no success. I tried to add mount points in the jail GUI but it gave the source as the dataset and destination in the jail.

Can anyone provide advise on how to achieve this, please?

PS I am trying to ensure I have the best practice and functioning setup possible and hope my questions will help others battling with ZM with minimal FN knowledge.

Two things to do:

1. Mount your storage dataset into the jail (the source and destination is correct as you listed, so don't worry).
Let's say you mounted it in /cameras in the jail.

2. Configure a storage location for it in ZM (Options, Storage, Add New Storage, browse to /cameras)
Edit your Camera settings under the storage tab to use the new location you added.

@sretalla,
I did as you said, but is is writing files to the FreeNAS storage with zero size.
