Read-Only Storage mounted in Jail will not show any files.

[mike360x1]

Hello,

I'm setting up an S3 CMD Jail in order to backup my files to AWS and I have mounted the dataset I wish to backup (/Default/Personal) to (mnt/zfspools/Docs) as Read-Only.

Problem is, S3cmd cannot locate any files in that storage and as a result, s3 fails to upload any files when I start the s3cmd sync operation.

To explore this issue, I've SSHed into the jail (using jexec) and found that I cannot show any files in the mounted storage directory using "ls". Is this normal? If so, how could I confirm that the storage pointer actually mounted? Otherwise, I cannot mount the storage with its normal permissions, fearing that I may overwrite my local data using the sync function.

TLDR; I have mounted a storage in my jail as read only and I cannot view any files in the storage.

I would be grateful for your help,

Thank you in advance,
Michael L.

Edit: I tried browsing the directory using SFTP and as expected, I was not able to view any files, I was left with blank directories.

Update:

I just found out that adding storage for a parent dataset doesn't actually recursively attach its child datasets too.
: (

I have multiple datasets in personal and it would be a bit troublesome and add clutter to the UI if I had to add each individual childset. It's not a major issue. (Worst comes, I can always just mount each individual dataset separately)

But, with that said, is there a more elegant solution?
