Datacenter "Storage" display doesn't understand ZFS stores?

New user / install here, but noticed something that seems odd. I have a ZFS mirrored install using two 1TB Samsung SSD. Which reports fine in the various ZFS sections of the UI like:

However in the Datacenter "Storage" view it seems to think local and local-zfs are independent space?

Jep, looks like the Datacenter is just adding up all storages even if the same storage is used multiple times. I for example got several TB there, because I got multiple SMB shares mounted that point to the same pool on the same NAS so it shows multiple times the NASs free space. But I guess that can't be done better because PVE can't know all that.

you can manually select the storages for the dashboard in the browser settings in the top right menu
by default we sum up every local storage and each 'shared' storage only once
this is only calculated on the frontend and it cannot really know if some storage is actually inside another
