Windows Sharing - Mapping all pools in single windows share

[Joebusu]

Hello,

Might be a stupid question or its probably not possible,

I'm trying to map the following location,

A general idea of what I'm trying to archive is to mount all the disk's and pools in a single location on windows as a mapped drive.

Any help would be appreciated.

So, with default settings, that's just not going to happen at all.

What you're wanting to do is something specifically not intended by the designers of the system. Each share should be dedicated to a single dataset (and possibly its children, if any).

There is apparently a way to set samba to follow symlinks, so there may be a way to make a share that has symlinks to each of the datasets/pools, but I'm not aware of any documentation on how to do that and I don't really have the interest to do it for you either, so a bit of searching on your part will be needed on how to make it happen.

Symlinks between pools (widelinks) are not supported. It can technically work now, but may not in the future. Such behavior can be a nightmare from a security perspective. DFS redirects can be used to present a unified namespace for multiple shares (and you can uncheck "browsable" for the shares you don't want users to see).
