vDev’s, Datasets, zVol’s and Volumes vs Disks? Can someone explain all the storage terminology used in linux and how storage things like ACL’s are handled versus windows? I have been working in windows enviroments and learning FreeNAS but all this terminology is really throwing me off.
I believe you are wanting to learn about ZFS. It is a BSD/Solaris filesystem but Linux recently has been able to implement it. Here is a good link to get you started.
