Can't find created directory on zfs

Question

I'm using openSUSE 13.1.

I created a new directory on a zpool

zfs create zpgd0/iSCSI -o compression=lz4 -o atime=off

but I'm not looking on that... So I do it again but I'm getting...

zfs create zpgd0/iSCSI -o compression=lz4 -o atime=off
cannot create 'zpgd0/iSCSI': dataset already exists

adding some data

I have no errors but the folder does not appear, so what Can I do?

sorry add it

zfs list
NAME          USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
zpgd0         933K  35,5T  54,7K  /zpgd0
zpgd0/iSCSI  54,7K  35,5T  54,7K  /zpgd0/iSCSI

What is the output of `zfs list`? – ewwhite Aug 21 '14 at 20:20 — ewwhite, Aug 21 '14 at 20:20

Your new filesystem is in /zpgd0/iSCSI. To access it, you can cd /zpgd0/iSCSI.

If it is not currently mounted, you can use zfs mount zpgd0/iSCSI.

Due to the naming of the filesystem, I'm betting that you probably want to create a ZFS zvol to present as block storage for iSCSI. If that's the case, what you're doing is taking you down the wrong path.

ok did not worked with cd... I'm very new to this wit zfs mount worked out. thanks! – maniat1k Aug 21 '14 at 20:44
You said that I was taking down the wronkg path... why do you say so? – maniat1k Aug 21 '14 at 20:48

@maniat1k because you have to supply the `-V ` parameter to your `zfs create` call to set up volumes. Also, you probably also want `-s` for sparse allocation. What you have done is creating another data set to host files, it would not work as a block device equivalent. – the-wabbit Aug 21 '14 at 23:26
Ahh, now I see what you mean. We are not going to expose the raw space to iSCSI but several files which are the speciffic iSCSI fileio devices. – maniat1k Aug 22 '14 at 13:53
