I've recently reconfigured my main box to have nested datasets, to allow for more specific snapshots (seeing as I actually have a THIRD unused computer I might use to backup specific high-value datasets, like kid pictures and such). I've just now finished copying the data back into them - and I've gone from using 3.7TB to over 7.4TB!!
I did MOVE the biggest folder (HD movies : 2.7 TB) from the non-nested to the nested dataset (for the others, I mostly copied them from the backup box, deleted the original and renamed the nested dataset).
So, for example, I now have :
Movies (2.7TB)
Movies/HD (2.7TB)
Movies/SD (73GB)
Seems that FreeNAS is adding up all three numbers, instead of just taking the last two...
Ideas...? I'll try to provide a screenshot of my Storage pane later if that helps.
