+
+Global options apply to every jail. Use and change with caution.

+All config options under "dataset" change dataset creation and linking. The indentation and "dataset" flag are not optional.
+All Datasets are auto-created if they do not exist already, no need to worry about creating them!

+- iocage: The dataset containing the iocage config. In FreeNAS often `poolname/iocage`
+- media: The dataset that is going to contain all media files for plex, Sonarr, Radarr etc. Such as movies and music. Music, Movie etc. sub-datasets are auto-created.
+- downloads: The dataset containging temporary download files. These are moved to media when finished. complete, incomplete etc. sub-datasets are auto-created.
