Hi Guys,
New here and new to FreeNas, Finally got my box set up as I want it but I have a few small issues left I was hoping you could help with.
I will say this is a small setup for a home media server.
First question, I have started copying over data from my old Windows box and I notice the size on disk value is a lot higher than the size value, any idea why this could be?, Picture below, the data on the left is from the data on the FreeNas box, on the right from the Windows box, data is identical.

Checking volumes on the webgui FreeNas is reporting that the dataset this is in is 92gb in size?
So I assume that there is not actually 133gb of data on the drives?, should I be worried? a setting wrong somewhere perhaps?
Next I have a folder that keeps reappearing, I delete it, Windows has no issue with that, I hit F5 and its back? Creating other new folders and deleting them work fine?
This was a folder I was using for a test share in the past so not sure if that's the issue?
Next when I try to create dataset called test I am told I cant because it already exists, however looking in volume manager there isn't one listed? I did have one previously that I deleted called test, something gone wrong in the deletion process?
Lastly I have created a guest share to a folder in my dataset, when I browse to my freenas box from a machine I havent authenticated on I get asked for credentials when clicking the box, I cant even see the guest share? Typing guest into the username and leaving the password blank works and I can read the files of the shared folder and then get asked for credentials if I try to access the main share. Also if I then enter the credentials for the main share it fails, I have to clear connections in windows with the Net Use / delete command and log in with my credentials by clicking the freenas box.
Is this normal? I would expect to be able to click the freenas box, see the shares, get asked for credentials for my share and get access to the guest share?
Thanks in advance guys :)
