Chain of events: Updated to Fangtooth on release. Selected a pool for instances. Rolled back to EE to fix some dataset/pool and app issues. Noticed the ix-virt dataset was visible in the webUI, deleted it as it was part of the pool that was giving me issues. Updated again to Fangtooth a few days l…

try zfs list it is hidden from the gui.

Thank you @Stux ! That allowed me to see the dataset. Can you, or someone else explain why zfs list would show the path but ls -a or ls -lah would not? When I research what each one does respectively, it is a bit beyond my understanding. The mountpoint is ‘legacy’. Does this mean it is no longer ha…

“legacy” means it gets mounted manually using the mount command (like most legacy filesystems), rather than automatically at a predefined mountpoint The point is, Incus does it. Don’t worry about it. The important thing is the dataset, which is a filesystem, doesn’t get mounted in the normal /mnt/<…

[image] Stux: try zfs list it is hidden from the gui. Hi thanks for the hint. Is there also a possibility to copy a zvol from this hidden folder to another place? Since I rolled back from Fangtooth to ElectricEel I am not able to mount the zvols from my VM. Unfortunately during the VM migra…

[image] ChrisChros: Is there also a possibility to copy a zvol from this hidden folder to another place? It is but you still won’t see it with ls. A zvol is an artifact in ZFS, not a file. You can only see it or perform operations on it (snapshot, rollback, clone, copy, delete, …) with zfs co…
