ZFS - Structure - Datasets
A ZFS dataset is roughly analogous to a standard, mounted filesystem—like a conventional filesystem.
- Each ZFS dataset has its own set of underlying properties.
- A dataset may have a quota assigned to it.
- In addition to datasets, ZFS also supports zvols.
- A zvol is roughly analogous to a dataset, except it does not actually have a filesystem in it. It is just a block device.
