 ====== ZFS - Datasets - Create a Dataset within a Pool ======
+<code bash>
+sudo zfs create testpool/some_dataset
+or
+sudo zfs create testpool/some_directory

+<WRAP info>
+**NOTE:**  A cool feature of the Volumes is that the size of the **partition** does not need to be specified.
+  * The free space is handled by ZFS.
+  * So there is no need to have to resize partitions when you start running out of space on one.
+  * If you are using more than one disk, this also provides software RAID features like mirror, stripe and parity.

+===== Children Datasets =====
+Datasets can have sub-sets (sub-directories):
