SMB and Nested Datasets - is it a no no?

Hi (and happy new year)!

Issue:

One of my SMB shares with nested datasets doesn’t report the total space and used space correctly in windows explorer.

Soluton in Core:

I solved this then by appending an SMB additional parameter zfs_core:zfs_space_enabled = true as per this post.

Moving from CORE U6 to SCALE 24.10 SMB aux parameters have been removed and I have removed them before upgrading.

Question:

A) Is there any equivalent workaround in Scale or is it a windows shortcoming with ZFS as shown here?

B) Given that all my SMB shares with non-nested datasets are reported correctly, are nested datasets outside the correct usage scope of SMB in truenas? The Docs seems to hint at this, if I understood the warning, but I’d like some extra confirmation. I had used them because I could set recursive snapshots of the parent dataset.

Thanks (for both the insight and bearing with me)!
