I was kicking around in Jira and saw https://jira.ixsystems.com/browse/NAS-101589 which confused me a little. Should the new operating system pool be where the system data set is stored? or the boot pool? isn't the majority of the operating systems activity in the system data set?

boot pool was pretty clear that it was not where your data was stored, what muddled the waters for me is that fact there is a SYSTEM dataset where FreeNAS does most of the heavy lifting as far as I know. I'm aware FreeNAS still fetches information from the boot pool particularly with navigating the GUI but I didn't think it did much else in there once the system was loaded.
