Hi there,
I copied all my files to a dataset on my 3TB ZFS volume on my FreeNAS, leaving roughly 20% free.
As all the files are in some sort of "entry" dataset that I initially created, I now want to move the files to orderly datasets according to content.
I just started the first moving process (about 1TB) via the mv command. Now as I watch the partition diskspace in the webinterface, I notice that what the system is doing is actually a copy.
No diskspace in the origin dataset is freed up but the target dataset is filling up. I am guessing the delete on the origin will only happen after the entire 1TB are copied. This will lead to the volume running out of space.
Is there a way to move the files so that they are deleted from the origin immediately (like I would expect the move command to do it actually)?
Thanks for advice!
