Can you rename a dataset after

[Nightowl805]

its already been created......some of these names are ridiculous lol

Nope. From http://doc.freenas.org/9.3/freenas_storage.html#create-dataset:

Most attributes, except for the “Dataset Name” and “Record Size”, can be changed after dataset creation...

dlavigne is right. But... you can rename them from the CLI.

zfs rename pool/dataset pool/dataset_new

Just keep in mind that since you are doing this, you can create problems if you move a dataset that is inside a network share. So you have to use yourself as the "duh" factor to make sure you don't do something that pulls out a file system from underneath a service like Samba, NFS, iSCSI, etc.

Thank you guys. CLI still a little intimidating but I think I will give it a try. I am the very early stages with no data as yet. I can always blow it up afterwards lol.
