When creating a an application, its very simple to use the ix-volume option, where the system will create a system managed dataset and export for the application.
It can be very challenging for a user to extract their data from the IX-Volume if they later decide that they would like to have the data easily available on their pool for replication, snapshots or migration purposes.
In order to resolve this it would be very useful if there were a “convert to host path” type option for IX-Volumes.
This button/option would simply allow the user to select a dataset, and then it could zfs rename the dataset to this location, and update the application settings,
thus converting the ix-volume to a user managed Host Path.
I imagine this could be accomplished with a button next to an already created ix-volume on the edit app page.
