Creating subfolders on zfs shares?

[Dayve]

I'm new today to Proxmox and following this guide to setup my zfs pool with shared folders.

Can't post links been a new user.

I have got to the point of creating the subfolders but when I "mkdir storage/share/Software" I get mkdir: cannot create directory ‘storage/share/Software’: No such file or directory.



I must be missing something. Can I do this from the GUI?
Sorry I'm just learning and have googled but have not found the answer.

Hi,

Can I do this from the GUI?

This is not supported.

can you send the output of

zfs get name,mounted,mountpoint -r <zfs pool>

Here is the output. If I keep adding another zfs to the storage it works.

root@pve:~# zfs get name,mounted,mountpoint -r storage

The problem is you create already subvols with this path.
So there is no need for creating a new dir with the same name.
Subvols are automatic mounted and can be used like dir.
