So I am completely new to Truenas and anything related to a nas tbh. I woke up one day and saw a video that I can use my old computer parts to build a server and now here I am. I have everything setup and I am creating the dataset layout. A lot of walkthroughs set up one dataset and then move on so its been a struggle putting together my dataset layout. I have come across some things to help me from this forum and also I have been using chatgpt. After a lot of thinking I came up with this setup. The datasets under Dataset1 will be common (a shared folder) and user 1 and user 2. I wanted to put those under dataset1 instead of directly under the tank dataset because then I can assign permissions to dataset1 and not have to mess with the tank.
The datasets labelled jails and non-jail plugins might be nonsense because I am learning as I am going and have not really gotten deep into jails and plugins. I do however want to think about those things now before I start adding data. Are jail datasets saved like this or is the datasets for the jail saved within the jail? I will research it more but that is one thing I was thinking about. Same with non-jail plugins, are there any that you would not want to run in a jail like Plex or a VM?
I appreciate any help!
