Need a way around NFS shares with spaces

[AceMilo]

I'm trying to share a dataset I have named Data Storage. It won't let me make an NFS share for this because there's a space in the name. What are my options to get this thing shared?

Thanks

Replace spaces with underscore.

Replace spaces with underscore.

How?

By pressing shift and the key to the right of the zero key. That should make an underscore symbol.

Har har. How do I rename the data set that's already been made, has data in it, sub datasets, and a vm stored in it?

You can rename the dataset from the command line:

Code:

zfs rename "pool/dataset with spaces" pool/dataset_without_spaces

Search the forum and you'll find examples and discussion, e.g.:

EDIT: Pay heed to this advice from @William Grzybowski in the thread above:

It will work fine from CLI, no need to detach/auto import. Just remember to change it everywhere in the GUI that could use the dataset name, like periodic snapshot, replication, shares, etc.

Thanks, I tried that last night but it perpetually says dataset in use. I tried -f to force it but it still says in use and won't let me rename it. Any ideas?

Yes: remove any shares (SMB, NFS, etc.) that refer to the dataset and plan on re-configuring them after renaming.

In fact, remove any references to the dataset: snapshots, replication tasks, etc.

If doing this doesn't work, you may have to unmount the dataset as described here:

Code:

zfs unmount -f "/mnt/tank/dataset with spaces"
