Missing "Volume" Section in User Guide

[Zander490]

The user guide documentation for FreeNAS version 11.3-U2 does not have a section about how Volumes work. It seems to be missing from that guide in particular, because there is a section for it in the 11.2-U3 Guide. Since I'm a beginner, this error left me very confused so I hope that it gets fixed soon.

Thanks.

The latest FreeNAS uses the term Pools in place of Volumes, likely to be consistent with ZFS terminology. Check out this section: 11.3-U2 Pools.

From the old documentation.

In ZFS terminology, groups of storage devices managed by ZFS are referred to as a pool. The FreeNAS® graphical interface uses the term volume to refer to a ZFS pool.

I had a feeling that was the issue. I was confused because I got an error message about a "Volume" name at an earlier point during my setup. I couldn't find anything like it in the official documentation, so I thought something was missing from both the guide and the UI.

I got past my error in particular by removing the spaces in the name, by the way.
