I am currently building a media server based on Linux Mint. The OS is installed on a small SSD and the intention is to store the media files on two HDDs (2TB + 4TB). To this end I have created a zfs pool called zstorage from the two HDDs. Then I added to this pool a dataset called movies. I have set the mountpoint to /home/gs/movies.
The output from zfs list appears to confirm this was created.
gs@Odin:~ > sudo zfs list
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
zstorage 118K 5.35T 21K /zstorage
zstorage/movies 21K 5.35T 21K /home/gs/movies
However when I try to copy files to the location /home/gs/movies the space on the SSD is being consumed and the files are not being stored on the HDDs that the zfs pool and dataset have been created.
Can anyone give shed some light on this?
