My end goal: Use CrashPlan in FreeNAS to back up my array to the cloud.
My problem: My jail was nested inside the dataset that I wanted to back up, which is a problem as I learned here. I deleted all my plugins (no major loss) and went to move the jail location. This is when I ran into an issue that I had been ignoring:
My volume data sizes seem bogus since my upgrade to 9.3 from 9.1.2. I should have a total of ~10.5 with ~5.1 used, as indicated by the dataset below. The volume data sizes don't even seem to correspond to actual drive size. In addition, I am unable to create a new dataset that isn't nested within the existing one.
Am I missing something fundamental about the structure? Do I have a strange case? Can I fix my structure without losing my data, or is there nothing wrong? Do I need an extra drive for jails? Thanks in advance for your help.
My system:
FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201502050159
Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G3258 @ 3.20GHz
Memory 8038MB
5*3TB Seagate plus 1*4TB Hitachi in RAID-Z2
