When I'm setting up my plugins jail, the wiki (http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Plugins) says to create a separate dataset for holding the jail software, but doesn't explain why. I created two datasets, one named 'plugins' and one named 'software'. The jail is housed in the plugins dataset. Do I want to create the software dataset inside the plugins dataset? If not, why not?
The broader question is, when is it a good idea to create a dataset within a dataset, as opposed to simply creating a regular directory?
