This sad tale begins after importing my pool and finding that the user dataset folders do not show up in the web gui, despite being created with the same version of TrueNAS 12.0 U6
I discovered that I could create a new dataset and it would stay in the web manager, so my intention was to transfer everything to the new TEMP dataset and then re-create the original dataset so I could manage permissions with the web interface.
Along the way I partially rm -rf'd the wrong folder and decided I would try the much-beloved snapshot feature to restore the previous state.
Unfortunately, it did not treat me so well and seems to have erased the TEMP folder without restoring the original dataset contents.
So currently I have a pool that reports it still has all the data (8TB in use) but the original dataset contains config data only, and I can only assume the bulk data is floating somewhere without a folder to link it.
Is there anything to try? Maybe a way to check for what is using the storage?
My first idea was to re-create the TEMP folder/dataset, and see if the data is there, but I wanted to check and see if there is something else I should try first?
