March 7, 20251 yr Can we get a toggle to enable/disable the creation of datasets? Moving files between shares (that are datasets) are essentially separate filesystems which eliminates the instant move of a file.

Moving files between shares (that are datasets) are essentially separate filesystems which eliminates the instant move of a file.I could well be wrong about this, but someone else mentioned recently that instant file moves only apply to individual shares on individual disks, regardless of filesystem and status as a dataset.It's why people recommend that instead of having a separate share for different kinds of data, you might consider a single share called data and reaping the benefits in perf for instant transfers within that share within each disk.Where that gives you issues is in ACLs. Unraid pushes you to create shares to manage access to data, but that model really opens up some problems if you have multiple users and everything in a single share, IMO.
