I think I'm missing something and the guides aren't helping me much.
I have a pool with all datasets and broken out into basic media datasets like movies, television, music, photos, home video.
That's all populated with data.
I want to try iSCSI and managed to get it going but I have to use a zvol. So is there any way to make a zvol already have the dataset data? I always have to format the disk on my windows side but I'm just not clear on the purpose of zvols in lieu of say CIFs for getting access to freeNAS data.
