Hello TrueNAS community! I just finished setting up my first truenas box, and I have some best practice questions about datasets:
More for my own understanding, it seems like datasets are the actual folders, and the shares just allow you to share that data, am I correct in this thinking?
For my real question, I'm looking to create a media Dataset for Movies, Shows, Photos and Music. Since they will all more then likely have the same permissions, would it make more sense to have a single dataset called Media and then have nested Datasets for each type of media? Or would best practice be to create a separate dataset for each media type?
I read that it's good practice to have a separate dataset for each share. I am just unsure if a nested dataset is also best practice, or if this would be a good use case of nested datasets.
