Nextcloud: How to avoid data duplication?

[welderF15]

Hi Guys

I've got Nextcloud up and running via the PBI install. Big thanks to @Joshua Parker Ruehlig for posting this PBI and the YouTube tutorial. I'm able to add Nextcloud shares that point to the datasets outside the jail however, I noticed that the data is being duplicated inside the jail in the 'destination' location. Is there a way to avoid this?

Thanks for your help

I think the source location IS the location. Basically this is a link to inside the jail even though it shows up in both locations, it is not physically in both locations. So when you unmount the NC storage location it will disappear from the jail and only continue to be in one (real) source location. Does this make sense? The jail "thinks" the data is physically in this destination directory but really it is in the source directory. Even though it "shows" in both it is not physically in both. This is desired, you want this.

Thanks John Digital. A quick look at FreeNAS>Reporting>Partition>Jails/nexcloud confirms what you said. I should have checked there first! Thanks again for your help.
