Hello

>From the SUN ZFS Administration Guide:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/gaztn?a=view

"If ZFS is currently managing the file system but it is currently
unmounted, and the mountpoint property is changed, the file system
remains unmounted."

This does not seem to be the case in FreeBSD (8.0-RELEASE):

=================================
zfs get mounted tank/home
NAME            PROPERTY        VALUE           SOURCE
tank/home               mounted         no                      -

zfs set mountpoint=/mnt/home tank/home

zfs get mounted tank/home
NAME            PROPERTY        VALUE           SOURCE
tank/home               mounted         no                      -
=================================

This might not look like a serious issue at first, until you try doing
an installation of FreeBSD from FIXIT, trying to setup multiple
filesystems and their mountpoints at the very end of the installation
process. For example if you set the mountpoint of your
poolname/rootfs/usr to /usr as one of the finishing touches to the
system installation, it will immideately mount the filesystem,
instantly breaking your FIXIT environment and you cannot proceed any
further. Is this a known issue and/or should I submit a PR?

- Sincerely,
Dan Naumov
