split disk ada0 into partitions

[totosjoe]

I need to set up an OpenVPN server and I want to set up that to SSD(ada0 disk). My ada0 disk is 120 GB. How can I split into partitions?

You don't. The OpenVPN stuff should all be built into the system, so you shouldn't need to store anything except in the configuration. If you needed to set up a jail, that should be set up in your data pool. TrueNAS does not support partitioning of disks because it interferes with automatic drive replacement and other stuff.

Also because ZFS kind of already supports that natively. A dataset is basically another partition as far as the OS is concerned. That's why things like moving files isn't instant across datasets. You also cannot create hard links across datasets.
