====== ZFS - Datasets - Create a Dataset within a Pool ======

<code bash>
sudo zfs create testpool/some_dataset

or

sudo zfs create testpool/some_directory
</code>

<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):

<code bash>
pool/parent/child
