1 month agoI’m close to a TB myself. For me, I’m a bit of a “completionist” and can’t stand having just 2 or 3 tracks from an entire album. Every track I have is accompanied by the rest of the album it was released on.
Sure, it means there are some duplicates at times, but it’s worth it to me.
You sure that’s what is happening, and it’s not just mounting a different snapshot/dataset being mounted “on top” ?
I’ve seen it happen, which is why I ask. Assume the root dataset is named pool0 and has set0 set1 and set1/set2 as child datasets.
Their mount points are as follows:
/pool0/set0
/pool0/set1
/pool0/set1/set2
Now, if somehow, say set2 gets unmounted.temporarily, and you save files to /pool0/set1/set2 while the data set is not mounted, it’ll actually put those files in the set1 dataset, under the set2 directory.
But, when you mount the pool0/set1/set2 dataset again, the files under the set1 dataset are hidden by the set2 child.
Am I explaining it well enough for you to follow along?
Make sure you don’t have some similar situation by temporarily unmounting any nested datasets and ls’ing their mount points.
