[zfs-discuss] zfs mounting

2007-10-30 Thread Krzys

It would be nice to be able to mount zfs file system by its mountpoit also and 
not just by the pool... For example I have the following:

mypool5 257G   199G  24.5K  /mypool5
mypool5/d5  257G   199G   257G  /d/d5

the only way to mount it is by zfs mount mypool5 and zfs mount mypool5/d5, but 
it would be nice to be able to mount mypool5/d5 by issuing zfs mount /d/d5

Just a suggestion to make zfs even easier to use... but they why stop there, 
why 
not be able to mount using just mount command?
mount /d/d5

Just my thought as I was in need to mount this usb drive after beeing 
disconnected and it took me few minutes to figure it out... Sorry if that was 
covered in the past, I di dnot take my time to search  archives...

Regards,

Chris

Re: [zfs-discuss] zfs mounting

The regular mount/umount commands can only be used if you have the
filesystems present in /etc/vfstab. To create a zfs filesystem with
the idea of using mount/umount you must specify 'mountpoint=legacy'.

Now you can 'mount /d/d5' ... as per regular ufs.

Zpools don't need mountpoints ... ie 'mountpoint=none' won't mount the
pool. Which means you can mount the zfs pool only AND mount it where
you want by using 'set mountpoint=/d/d6'.

Cheers
