Oh I really hope we don't have multiple BEs or ZFS datasets that share
the same name! That would obviously very confusing :-).
I'd also note that split datasets are not supported currently. So you
can't have /opt on its own filesystem and expect things to work
correctly right now.
It must have worked at one time because obviously the original
machine had successfully been updated to b134. For those with
space constrained boot disks, are there any plans to support /opt
on a separate filesystem? Shades of the old /var/pkg discussion :-)
Having /opt on a separate dataset can work, as we have systems that were
originally installed that way under 2008.05 when we did create that
separate dataset, and they continue to be upgradeable today (I'm writing
this on one of them that's running 151a). However, there's probably
some subtlety of the dataset properties that isn't set up in those
who've done it by hand. We don't consider this a supported
configuration at present because we're not formally testing against it,
but as we work to improve the dataset layout for S11 I'm sure we'll revisit.
