So I am quite new to FreeNAS and a complete noob in ZFS, so I might be completely misunderstanding some things. So I created my ZFS pool and datasets a while ago, but as far as I remeber, I used the default settings. So I finnaly got arround to backing up my stuff to the NAS and I noticed that the "Size" and "Size on disk" as reported by the "Properties" in file explorer for some of my files are quite diffrent. So I started digging into it and noticed that even a 136 B file takes up 1 MB on the disk. This, if I understand correctly would mean that the record size is 1 MB. I checked the pool and dataset settings and the "Record size" setting is set to 128k.
So am I missing or completely misunderstanding something, or is this just a windows thing and it isincorectly reported?
