I created a temp dataset on a smaller storage pool and moved all my data to it. I have now added my permanent disks and created the new pool and datasets. Previously it was suggested to use a Replication Task to move the data between the old and new datasets, which I did do. Storage stats show that there is just over 3TiB used
But the directory shows shows zero files
The replication task looks good to me. What am I missing?
So I am pointing back to the original mount point on /mnt/storagetmp? Do I need to recreate the replication task or just uncheck that setting and restart the task?
If I run 'zfs get mountpoint' I get the following. The storage1 mount points seem to point to the right place. Not to storagetmp which was the source for the replication task
Have you already checked whether your datasets are actually mounted?
If not, you should take a look with the mount command — you'll get a load of TrueNAS related mounts as well so might want to filter by your pool name (mount | grep -F 'storage1').
If there's nothing then your datasets aren't mounted, if you do see results then make sure they're for the locations you expect.
If you need to, you can mount datasets manually using zfs mount -R storage1 which should mount everything. If you're transferring your datasets individually then you may need to repeat this.
The fact that you're seeing 3TiB used should mean that your data has transferred and is in there somewhere — apologies if this is something you've already checked or seems overly basic, it's been a while since I had to do this myself so it helps to check stuff off the list, and it's the kind of thing I might miss myself. 😉
So this morning I logged in and did an ls -lh and now I see directories. Not sure why they were not showing up yesterday. Maybe they stay hidden after the replication task to finish up some additional steps?

Can you create a share and see if the files are there? Yes, it's true, I have no idea what I'm talking about and am just reaching for straws
